Heliot Ramos put himself in the San Francisco Giants history books with his All-Star nod.
Webb, who has a strong case of being one of the top arms in Major League Baseball, was expected to be an All-Star entering the year.The talent was always there for the 24-year-old, but he's truly put it all together in 2024. In 215 at-bats, he's slashing .302/.372/.535 with 13 home runs and 11 doubles. The Giants have been looking for a young player who could be a franchise talent, and the Puerto Rico native looks to be just that."I still can't believe it," Ramos said.
Entering the year, if they knew they'd get this type of production out of Ramos, everyone would've considered it a massive win. That's still how it looks, but it's interesting to think about how San Francisco would look without him putting a historic stretch together. Young players are always tough to judge, but his first 76 combined at-bats in 2022 and 2023 show why it's important not to give up on young talent too soon.
Ramos, who should only get better, will be a big part of the Giants' hopeful success in the second half.Jon Conahan has been covering all major sports since 2019. He is a 2022 graduate of the Bellisario School of Journalism at Penn State University and previously played D1 baseball.
