Dunedin, Fla.–Ramirez may be a new converted outfielder to pitcher but he has picked up the habit of jumping the foul line.  His second outing against the Pirates extended spring squad saw him allow an unearned run.  He did it in on one hit while walking one and striking out none.  He threw 14-pitches, all fastball’s consistently at 93-94 topping out at 95.
