Here’s another “brief” look at Ramirez.

Ramirez then proceeds to load his arm—his elbow gets a little high, which may or may not add to his injury risk.

He appears to do this more often/worse than any farm arm I saw pics of this season.

was drafted in the supplemental first round, not the second round.

but damn that ceiling’s high.

Drafted him and more excited when he signed. I think he will open eyes next year.

but in the fastball and curve videos he picked to show Ramirez’s delivery, Ramirez’s motion is remarkably consistent. Typically, even the best pitchers in the game have more of a variance between their fastball and curve.

Eisenberg mentioned it briefly, but when coupled with Ramirez’s stuff, the deception this creates is otherworldly.

I looked earlier so I’m not sure if Eisenberg fixed it, but the sideview wasn’t working properly this afternoon. The high elbow is really only a concern with regard to timing. From the front-view photos, it’s hard to tell exactly when his elbow drops back down. Typically, problems only occur if a pitcher picks that elbow up and then drags his arm behind his shoulders while still picking up the ball.

Eisenberg mentions some violence in Ramirez’s delivery, but the examples he shows really don’t accent that point. In fact, the examples he chose look pretty impressive from a mechanical standpoint with the elbow position being the only obvious question mark.

Just my opinion, feel free to react or not.
