Wilson Ramos emerged from obscurity in Venezuela and made his MLB debut with the Minnesota Twins in 2010. However, he had his most successful run as a Washington National between 2010 and 2016, earning him the nickname "Buffalo".
After only seven games with the Twins, Ramos was traded to D.C. where he finished fourth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting the following year. Despite battling multiple injuries, he had a career-best season in 2016, hitting 148 hits, 22 home runs, driving in 80 runs, and achieving a batting average and slugging percentage of .496. He was named an All-Star and a Silver Slugger, which was a surprise considering his previous years. Unfortunately, his season ended in mid-September due to a torn ACL, and he never played for the Nats again. Instead, he became a free agent and signed with Tampa.
Ramos started 2018 on the injured reserve list but returned to make his second All-Star team. However, he was traded to Philadelphia later that year. Ramos then signed with the Mets and had one more successful season, but he only played for two more years, spending one more year in New York and playing with Detroit and Cleveland.
Throughout his career, Ramos recorded 946 hits and 136 home runs.
