Heliot Ramos

Ramos didn't make the Opening Day roster last season and didn't hit his first home run until May 19, but he still finished second on the Giants in homers with 22. He hit an even 20 long balls in an 82-game span, during which he slashed .282/.340/.518 across 359 plate appearances. Statcast's new bat speed metric had Ramos in the 90th percentile for the season -- same with his xSLG. Ramos also chipped in six steals in seven attempts as a first-time All-Star. However, the outfielder slowed down a bit in September and it came to light that he was playing through various injuries, including plantar fasciitis, which is cause for concern for a 25-year-old. The problem can recur without warning, but San Francisco needs his power bat in the lineup and the 2017 first-round pick will be given every chance to prove he can be an everyday player.
