Does he look anything like Juan Cruz on the mound?

No. Much bigger. I watched his AB, he looked kinda high-effort
to me. Didn't look that smooth. But he is fast, definitely,
big-league arm for sure.

BR lists Ramos at 6’3, 152.
Looking at him today, I’d estimate that he’s maybe 50 lbs.
heavier than that now.
Glanville noted on broadcast that even his pitches down in the
zone were showing 98 on the ballpark gun, in addition to the
4-seamers. One of the sinkers had really good action. Threw one
off-speed pitch at 88—-in the dirt. Faced Eugenio Suarez, who
didn’t seem that comfortable against him (flied to RF). Looks
definitely like a reliever, not a starter, at least from the 7
pitches threw today. Like a million other guys like this, can he
throw strikes and have a useful off-speed pitch?

This is what's so interesting. So many power-armed guys, yet so
few make it. Really fascinating.

FFS, play Frazier every day until he proves you shouldn’t. We
have so few genuinely intriguing players at the big league
level. Let’s see what he can do, not waste ABs on guys who have
no chance to be part of the future core.
Just as a point of reference, Frazier had better career numbers
through age 25 than Castellanos did. And a higher OPS in the
minors. Last year he wasn’t healthy, and like Castellanos he’s
a butcher with the glove. But he has a chance to be a legit
difference maker with the bat.

LOL, like others said, Ramos is definitely more filled out than
Cruz ever dreamed of being.
Then again, aren’t we all?
