Ramirez Shifts to First Base | Miami Marlins News

The Miami Marlins are retooling Agustin Ramirez’s role, moving him from catcher to first base to maximize his offensive upside while addressing defensive flaws. With Joe Mack now the primary catcher, Ramirez’s behind-the-plate errors and passed balls made his catching days a thing of the past. Though he’ll still be ready to fill in at catcher if needed, his new focus is mastering first base — a challenge he’s already tackling with infield drills. The team sees his bat as too valuable to sideline, hoping he can replicate his rookie power surge while filling a utility role similar to Liam Hicks’ — covering catcher, first base, and DH. It’s a bold mid-season experiment designed to keep Ramirez impactful without sacrificing his offensive potential.
