Amateur career

Born and raised in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, Ramos graduated from San Fernando High School in San Fernando, California, moving there prior to his junior year.[1] In 2013, his senior year, he batted .429 with 11 home runs and 43 RBIs.[2] Undrafted in the 2013 Major League Baseball draft, he enrolled at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California, where he played college baseball.

In 39 games between the two clubs, he hit .213 with three home runs and 17 RBIs. In 2015, he returned to Grand Junction to begin the year before being promoted to the Asheville Tourists in June; in 55 games with both teams, he slashed .332/.408/.609 with 13 home runs and fifty RBIs. Ramos split the 2016 season with both Grand Junction and the Modesto Nuts, batting .304 with seven home runs and 32 RBIs in only 32 games due to missing over three months due to an injury. In 2017, he returned healthy to play 122 games with the Lancaster JetHawks, posting a .297 batting average with 13 home runs and 68 RBIs.[6]
