The 22-year-old is slashing .311/.367/.667 in 11 games with four home runs, 11 RBI, and three steals. He had only eight home runs in 129 games at Double-A last year, so the early power surge is interesting to see. Ramírez can play both second base and third base and could be an option during the season if the Cubs deal with injuries.

Ramirez’s slam was a 387-foot fly off of Mitch Spence. The 21-year-old Ramirez, who was added to the Cubs’ 40-man over the winter, is 8-for-22 with two homers and just one strikeout this spring. He’s also 4-for-5 stealing bases. He split time between second and third last year while hitting .280/.346/.386 for Double-A Knoxville. His path to playing time at third base for the Cubs seems thoroughly walled off for the foreseeable future, but he could be a factor at second in 2027 if Nick Hoerner isn’t re-signed.
