Reigning Cal League Offensive Player of the Week James Ramsay went 0-for-4 tonight in a 9-8 loss at High Desert, ending his hitting streak at 20 games. Ramsay has been on a tear since mid-May, raising his batting average from below .200 to his current .301.
In the Astros’ loaded minor-league system, Ramsay hasn’t cracked the top-30 prospects list for either Baseball America or MLB.com, but the 2013 seventh-round draft pick has found his groove at the plate with Lancaster. During the impressive streak, Ramsay had nine multi-hit games, finishing it off by going 10-for-16 in the last three games. Prior to tonight’s loss, the Jethawks had won seven of their last eight and moved into second place in the South division.
