Horacio Ramírez (born November 24, 1979 in Carson, California) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. He made his debut for the Braves in 2003, when he had a solid 4.00 ERA over 29 starts. He got off to an excellent start in 2004 with a 2.39 ERA in the first nine starts, before he suffered a shoulder injury, initially thought minor, but which eventually sidelined him for the rest of the season except for one September relief appearance.
His pitching arsenal consists of a low 90's fastball, a slider, a cutter and a hanging curveball.
In 2005, Ramirez finished with a record of 11-9 and an ERA of 4.63. He pitched over 200 innings for the first time in his career. He remained in the Braves' rotation in 2006 as the number 3 starter.
On December 6, 2006 the Atlanta Braves traded Horacio Ramirez to the Seattle Mariners for RHP relief pitcher Rafael Soriano.[1]
