Horacio Ramirez
Field Staff
The Atlanta Braves drafted Ramirez in the fifth round (172nd overall) of the 1997 MLB Draft out of Inglewood High School in Inglewood, California. The left-handed pitcher would make a stop at each of the Braves’ six affiliate clubs, including the 2006 Rome Braves, before making his MLB debut with Atlanta on April 2nd, 2003, against the Montreal Expos.
Across four seasons with the Braves, Ramirez would go 30-22 and sport a 4.13 ERA before being dealt to the Seattle Mariners in December of 2006 for reliever Rafael Soriano.
Ramirez would go on to pitch for the Royals, White Sox, and Angels at the big-league level before being hired as a coaching assistant for the Braves in 2014. Since then, Ramirez has most notably served as a pitching coach for Team Mexico in the 2023 World Baseball Classic and a bullpen coach for the Florida Complex League Braves in 2024.
