Biographical Information

José Ramos has played in the minors and won a Gold Medal with the Colombian national team.

Ramos was signed by San Francisco Giants scout Daniel Mavarez in July 2019. With the shutdown of the minors in 2020 due to COVID-19, he would not make his pro debut until 2021, when he hit .245/.327/.449 as a utility infielder for the DSL Giants Black. That winter, he batted .367/.406/.500 in 33 plate appearances for the Vaqueros de Montería.

He hit .272/.400/.422 for the 2022 DSL Giants Orange then was a regular with the Vaqueros, producing at a .230/.356/.303 clip as they won the Colombian League title. He split 2023 between the San Jose Giants (.211/.308/.311 in 85 G) and ACL Giants Black (.160/.267/.200) but stole 33 bases in 38 tries. The middle infielder trailed only Grant McCray among Giants farmhands in swipes; he was 6th in the California League with 29.

In the 2023 Pan American Games, he debuted against Cuba, hitting 9th at DH. He grounded out against Yoennis Yera his first time up. He came up big in the semifinals against Panama, scoring the tying run in the 6th as a pinch-runner for Carlos Arroyo. That proved big when they won 2-1. Brazil went on to the title game, where they beat Brazil. Ramos's single off Daniel Missaki that day was his lone hit of the event as he finished 1-for-8 with 3 walks and 2 runs, fielding .875 as Colombia won their baseball Gold in a Pan American Games.

The Montería native hit only .171/.306/.244 for his hometown team in 2023-2024. With the 2024 ACL Giants, he scored 39 runs in 47 games and stole 13 bases in 15 tries, hitting .283/.426/.384.
