Ramirez Jr. Slaps 5 Hits Thursday, June 18th , 2026 Even as a kid, Rafael Ramirez Jr. said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Catfish Ballpark, Ramirez Jr. showed how well he learned that lesson. The 20-year-old shortstop had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Lakeland Catfish, helping his team knock off the Dunedin Danger by a score of 12-8. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Rafael Ramirez Jr. doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, grounded out in the 7th and hit a two-run single in the 8th. This year, Ramirez Jr. has hit at a .414 clip with 6 RBIs, no home runs and 3 runs scored. View Boxscore |
