Professional career
Texas Rangers
Ramirez was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the first round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft out of Kempsville High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He then spent six years in the Rangers' farm system, playing for the Spokane Indians in 2008 and the Hickory Crawdads in 2009 and 2010.
On August 17, 2011 he was promoted to Triple-A at Round Rock and substituted Eric Hurley who left on disability per viral infection. Prior to it, on July 15, Ramirez went out for a week to rehab in Frisco, Texas due to a sore shoulder which prevented him from playing in Triple-A. He was quoting as saying to MLB.com that the absence had not bothered him.[1]
Ramirez was added to the Rangers' 40-man roster on November 18, 2011.[2]

On June 5, 2014, Ramirez earned his first career save in a victory over the New York Mets.
