Ramirez could make jump to majors

KISSIMMEE - Rookie Horacio Ramirez has a command of the strike zone and of the movement on his pitches, making the left-hander a perfect fit for the Braves. <br> <br> His performance this spring has helped, too. <br> <br> Ramirez, who spent most of last season at AA Greenville, has gone 4-0with a 1.45 ERA, the most victories without a loss among National League pitchers. His final start before the regular season will come Tuesday against Detroit. <br> <br> He rarely gets his fastball above 90 miles per hour but relies on his control and a sinker to keep batters off-balance. He works both sides of the plate, and even when he&#39;s behind in the count, he&#39;s not afraid to throw any of his four pitches. <br> <br> In order words, he&#39;s another piece of the puzzle for the pitching-heavy Braves.
