Agustín Ramírez made history by smashing his career's first Major League home run on Friday to help the Miami Marlins garner an 8-4 win over the Seattle Mariners . Evidence of the night being special for the rookies and the Marlins, who are slowly starting to find their footing amid an uninspiring season.
Agustín Ramírez on fire against MarinersAgustin Ramírez has already been stealing headlines with his bat just days after his call-up. In only his third game as a major league player, the young 22-year-old is already claiming record books: 7 hits in 10 at-bats, 4 doubles, and a home run. This start is hard to believe and is all the baseball world, from fans to analysts alike, are buzzing about a player in at least the last 125 years who has attained seven hits and five extra-base hits in his first three games.
His composure has drawn praise not only from his manager but also from his teammates, who noted he looks quick and relaxed at the plate despite the pressure of the big leagues. His presence at the plate and thunderous swings during the season gave life to a Marlins offence that has otherwise struggled.
Big hit at the right timeThe Marlins saw a long-awaited breakthrough with a six-spot in the fifth due to timely hitting and the Mariners' two-out errors. After Seattle began a comeback by making the score 6-4, Ramírez put on the clobber.
With a glorious two-run shot into left-centre field that travelled 406 feet at an exit velocity of nearly 107 mph, he put in his performance in the eighth inning. That was never in doubt and quite quickly sealed Miami's win. There couldn't be a better counter to the rally by the Mariners. As he rounded the bases, Ramírez could not contain his excitement, calling the feeling "incredible" after the game.
Agustin Ramírez signals a new eraAs such, winning four of their last five games, the Marlins can safely say that Agustín Ramírez has been a key saviour to their club by emerging into such a bright light. The fact that he could adjust quickly to Major League pitching and deliver in such big moments bodes well for a future role with Miami.
For now, Marlins fans just sit back and relax to witness the ascension of a great new talent - and judging from his early displays, much more is to come.
