Ramirez fires a 95-96 miles per hour heater and as totaled a career ERA of 3.43 over eight seasons of professional ball, per Staten Island’s Tweet.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound righty, who the Twins signed in 2012 out of the Dominican Republic, spent seven years in Minnesota’s minor league system, compiling a 23-14 record with a 2.77 ERA while registering 404 punchouts in 344 and 2/3 innings of work in 168 games.

Additionally, Ramirez enjoyed three stints in winter ball with the Aguilas Cibaenas (2018-19, 2019-20) and Estrellas de Oriente (2020-21), both of which are a part of the Dominican Winter League.

This is the second signing of the day for the FerryHawks, who inked right-handed flame-thrower Connor Law earlier.
