Wilkin Ramírez

[William Malone]

Wilkin Emilio Ramírez was born on October 25, 1985 in the Dominican Republic.

The Detroit Tigers signed him as an amateur free agent in 2003. He made his Major League debut for them in 2009, appearing in 15 games that summer. Ramírez only got 13 plate appearances in those 15 games, going 4-for-11 (.364) with two walks and one home run. He didn't reach the Majors again until 2011 with the Atlanta Braves, where he hit .231 with two RBI during a 20 game sample.

Ramírez signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins, and split 2012 between Double-A New Britain and Triple-A Rochester. He returned on a second minor league deal in 2013, cracking their Opening Day roster after hitting .404 in spring training. Ramírez hit .272 with six RBI across 35 games for the Twins that season, playing all three outfield positions. This was the end of his time at the big league level, but Ramírez did spend 2014 and 2015 in the Twins minor league system.

His final professional season came in 2016 with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League.
