In his second Cactus League commitment, the Cleveland Guardians’ third baseman starred in a curious sequence during Monday’s duel against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Goodyear Ballpark.
In the third inning, Ramírez hit a ball against fellow Dominican Juan Burgos that seemed to clear the fence before returning to the field. However, the umpires called it a double by rule. Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt asked for an explanation, but the decision stood.
Far from being bothered, Ramírez took revenge in his next at-bat. The Dominican punished a pitch from Antonio Menéndez with a three-run home run to right field, his first of the preseason. The hit traveled 386 feet and awakened the ovation of the fans present.
Ramírez closed the day with a 3-2 performance, demonstrating that his power is ready for the campaign.
With that forceful message, the star third baseman reaffirms his offensive prominence from the start of spring training.
