Blue Jays' Harold Ramirez: Sets sights on climbing ladder in 2017

Ramirez, who was acquired from the Pirates on Aug. 1, hit .311/.360/.407 with 50 RBI and 60 runs over 99 games in the Double-A Eastern League.

Ramirez was part of the deal that included pitcher Francisco Liriano. The Jays' No. 9 prospect played in only one game for the organization before injuring his knee and finishing the year on the DL. Ramirez's .311 average and seven triples both ranked fifth in the Eastern League this season. Although the 22-year-old has speed, Ramirez will need to improve his baserunning skills, as he was just 7-for-17 in stolen base attempts. Overall, the Columbian native has the tools to one day become a big league outfielder, and he's expected to be in the mix when spring training rolls around next year.
