Heliot Ramos | Baseball America: The Top 100 for 2018

Ramos is still 3-4 years away at best and there are still questions of whether he will hit advanced pitching but his ceiling is clearly higher than any Giants hitting prospect in many, many years. He will be one of the youngest players in the Sally League this year at 18. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to that level, he is struggling a bit early but the tell will be how he makes adjustments. 

The top prospect in the Giants organization and getting some buzz from the Prospect-osphere.

Scouting Report: Ramos is the most well-rounded and the toolsiest prospect to come through the Giants farm system this decade. In a system lacking in power, Ramos has 25-30-plus home run potential, posting exit velocities already that wouldn't look out of place in the middle of a big league lineup. He has already shown the ability to both yank the ball over the left field wall or drive it out with carry to right-center. Ramos' swing is relatively short and he has excellent bat speed, although pitchers found they could elevate and get the free-swinging Ramos to chase. He also has consistent plus speed, plus-plus at his best, although his thick trunk leads some to believe he will slow down as he matures. While Ramos' routes can be refined, he glides in the outfield and a majority of evaluators believe he can stay in center field long-term as an average to above-average defender. His above-average arm would also fit in right field, which is useful with how expansive AT&T Park is.
