As we look back at top moments one that stands out is Eli Ramirez's arrival on the national stage with his performance on the mound at the Future Games. Ramirez was a key figure in Duncan's run to the 5A State Championship and spring boarded that with a selection on Team Oklahoma's Future Games roster. Ramirez shined working the fastball up to 91 and showed an improved curveball in the upper 70's to work two perfect innings and collecting 3 strikeouts along the way. With his rapid rise through the summer Ramirez has made himself into a must-see prospect going forward.
