Lucas Ramirez Blasts Leadoff Homer for Brazil in WBC as Manny Watches

Lucas Ramirez, son of MLB legend Manny Ramirez, blasted a leadoff home run for Brazil against the United States in the World Baseball Classic on Friday. The 20-year-old Angels prospect (2024 17th-round pick) sent Logan Webb’s second pitch into the seats, cutting the US lead to 2-1. Ramirez, who played in Class A last season (.266, 3 HR, 30 RBI, 6 SB), is playing for Brazil due to his mother's heritage. His father, Manny, expressed immense pride, noting the homer will boost Lucas for the upcoming season.
