Wilson Ramos, whose family is just outside the Zoom screen, the greatest catcher in Zoom history, spoke to me about his career and looked back on his time as a nation . Recently Ramos He announced his retirementwith nearly 20 years of professional baseball and over 10 years of major leagues. After 6.5 seasons with the Nationals, Ramos spent time with the Rays, Philly, Mets, Tora and Guardian.
Ramos said he had been thinking about resignation for a year and wanted to spend more time with his family. He said, “I have lost a lot of time with my kids in my career. After 20 years of career, I want to spend time with them.”
After being traded with Nat by the twins, he was able to learn from Padgi Rodriguez, the Hall of Fame Catcher, who was with Nat at the time. Wilson’s eyes brightened when he asked about Pudge. Rodriguez was a player young Wilson admired. Sometimes it’s best not to meet your hero, but that wasn’t the case here. Ramos said he learned a lot from him about the art of catching. In particular, he said Pudge helped him call the game and communicate with the pitcher.
Ramos obviously took pride in calling the game and working with the pitchers. He said his favorite memories were “hitters who got caught up in Zimmermann and Scherzer, 20 strikeout game.” His biggest memory was not individual moments at the plate but part of the dominant pitching performance, leading those pitchers throughout the game.
This makes sense given that Ramos is a catcher. In fact, one thing he said he regrets is that he never plays any other positions. He was always a catcher since he was a kid, so adjusting to playing other positions was tough. But he regrets not being able to do so by saying, “It’s sad that he’s never played any other positions because it helps him play longer.”
Another thing that Ramos recommends to his younger self, the older and smarter, is to take training more seriously. When he was young, Ramos said he “trusted his talent.” Later in his career, Buffalo became more committed to the movement.
Speaking of that Buffalo nickname, Ramos said it came from DC. His teammates began calling him first, then it got stuck and expanded to his fanbase. He fondly recalls those times, saying, “It was a great nickname, especially with the fans. I remember wearing a buffalo hat that I enjoyed.” Ramos has always been a fan favorite on DC, and his personality is It was very fan friendly.
Like Buffalo’s nickname, fans have always loved his walk-up song “Wilson” by Fish. Fans become enthusiastic about reciting his name on the song. Wilson enjoyed the spectacle and said, “I loved it when the fans were chanting my name. It piqued me off. It gave me more energy to get bats better and do damage.” I did.” Maybe it really affected his performance, given him Career options at home It’s 50 points higher than his road Ops.
2016 was a magical year for Ramos. He said it was his favorite Nationals team and cited a great season of good teammates and himself. Ramos formed an All-Star team that year and was one of the best catchers in baseball. He was also managed by Dusty Baker.
The season ended with an unfortunate knee injury, but it was still a magical year for Buffalo, enough to win him a good deal in the free agency with the Rays. He enjoyed his time in Tampa and said that his favorite team is playing besides Natt. He was originally from Venezuela and had many friends in Florida. He now lives in Florida full time. American citizens.
With him retired, Buffalo is now heading towards the green meadows. For now, he wants to relax and rest with his family. Considering how long he spent in the game and how long he spent with his family, he deserves it. But it’s clear that Wilson Ramos hasn’t finished in baseball yet. He still has a love for the game and hopes it will maintain a part of his life.
He said he really enjoys working with young Venezuelan players and will be there for the Winter League. Ramos expressed interest in working for the organization one day. With all of the previous NATs in training this spring, it’s great to see Buffalo in West Palm Beach over the next few years.
Buffalo is one of my favourite players and chatting with him was a joy. Wilson Ramos was the greatest catcher in Natt’s history and was loved by his fanbase. Ramos said, and it is clear that love goes both ways: The city took care of me and the fans showed me love. ”
