Likely to bat leadoff vs. lefties

Ramos hit leadoff against southpaw Jeffrey Springs in Tuesday's win, and he crushed lefties in 2024 with a .370/.439/.750 slash line and 10 homers in 123 at-bats. "Look at his numbers last year against lefty pitching and he's inspired to do it, too," manager Bob Melvin said. "We'll see where it goes." The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .231 in 13 at-bats in Cactus League play, and he has also recorded two stolen bases. Ramos is slated to serve as the club's everyday left fielder in 2025 after a successful 2024 campaign, during which he finished with a .269/.322/.469 slash line, 22 home runs and six steals over 121 outings.
