Ramos’ Hard Contact Isn’t Enough | New York Yankees News
Description
The Yankees’ trade for Heliot Ramos hasn’t paid off—he’s slashing just .071 with three hits in 42 at-bats, all doubles, and his metrics now lag behind the player he replaced. While his exit velocity has spiked over 94 mph, most of that power is going into ground balls—over 50%—turning hard contact into outs. A recent 100+ mph liner ended a rally by sailing to an infielder. Compounding the issue: Ramos walks less than anyone in the league, leaving him stuck in low-impact at-bats. With no immediate reinforcements and the deadline past, the Yankees are left hoping he can suddenly turn it around—or risk wasting a high-upside bat.
