There’s news on the 6-foot-3 student of Florida’s American Heritage High School. The right-handed pitcher and lefty hitter’s team has recently achieved a great deal. 

Lucas, a 2024 baseball prospect had made the announcement earlier this year that he had committed to Tony Vitello’s Tennessee baseball program. He vocalized that, “I am insanely excited“. His game has been strong enough to get a score of nine out of ten from Perfect Game. A nine is a “potential top 10 round pick and/or highest level college prospect“.

Lucas Ramirez’s batting stance from the left side of the plate is similar to his father’s. Furthermore, memories of the retired superstar resurface witnessing the excitement and energy Lucas has on the diamond. In the 2023 World Wood Bat Association (WWBA) semifinals, Ramirez hit a walk-off home run to advance his team to the championship game in July of this year.

The hit and bat flip that the son of Manny Ramirez made, pushed him to more stardom than he had previously. Further details on the promising future of Ramirez were revealed in a tweet from @PG_Scouting. The tweet said, “Lucas Ramirez (‘24 FL) with maybe the biggest swing of the week, launching this baseball high into the trees to walk us off in the semis and secure a spot in the championship. #WWBA @Florida_PG #Vols commit”. With that it is clear that the future would witness a greatness similar to that of Manny’s reign.
