Former Nats Prospect J.P. Ramirez (Ep. 2)
How quickly can a phone call change a prospect's life? Just ask J.P. Ramirez. We talked with the former Nats farmhand about how a last-minute pitch from the Nationals ultimately swayed Ramirez toward pro ball -- and out of his commitment to Tulane -- and jumpstarted his pro career. He’ll further detail the signing deadline that changed his life, dealing with front office upheaval when you’re a low-level prospect, speaking up about injuries, and life in non-affiliated professional baseball. Other talking points include...
- A story about a Friday night game starting after 1a.m.
- Parents/family pulling him in both directions about the college or pro decision
- Being afraid to speak up for himself as a young prospect about an injury
- Being released at 23
- Life in Indy ball/Mexico
