Mauricio Ramos begins the 2016 season at Northwest Arkansas (AA) where he’s hitting an impressive .364/.457/.820 through May 5th. Signed by the Royals out of Colombia in August of 2010, Ramos helped lead his home country to a win in the qualifying rounds of the World Baseball Classic this spring, the first such time Colombia has become WBC eligible (2017). The third baseman recently joined Dave O to talk about baseball and life in Colombia, how much the WBC means to the country, how the Royals signed him after the Tampa Bay deal fell through, what he’s working on most and lots more!
