San Francisco Giants All-Star Finally Fulfills Promise of First-Round Pick
Sitting at a small table in left field at Globe Life Field on All-Star Game media day, Ramos is one of 38 first-time All-Stars that will participate in Tuesday’s game. In some ways he might be the most improbable.
That all changed earlier this season when the Giants called him up on May 8 after the Giants put Jorge Soler on the 10-day injured list. Right around that time, the Giants also lost their big free-agent signing from the offseason, center fielder Jung Hoo Lee, to an injury that would lead to season-ending shoulder surgery.
“This is a moment that I thought was never gonna happen,” he said with teammate Logan Webb nearby. “Honestly, I thought I was going to be in the minor leagues all year. I thought that this moment was never going to get here.” He’s slashing .298/.365/.523/.888 with 14 home runs and 46 RBI since his call-up, and even though he wasn’t back in the Majors until May, he was selected to his first All-Star Game as a National League reserve., led by San Francisco’s former manager, Bruce Bochy. He was manager when Ramos was drafted and after transitioning away from the dugout in 2019, he remained a special assistant to the Giants and saw plenty of Ramos in the minors.
