Nick Ramos will not play his senior season. IU Coach Chris Lemonis announced Monday at media day the shortstop will no longer be a part of the program, but will remain in school.
Lemonis would not comment any further.
Ramos started 35 games at shortstop last season, missing 23 because of a broken hand. He also served as IU’s No. 2 hitter for most of the season. In his sophomore season he started 50 of IU’s 53 games at shortstop.
He hit .262 while driving in 19 runs with one home run last season. Ramos also recorded nine multi-hit games to go with five multi-RBI games.
His departure from the program opens a hole at shortstop for the Hoosiers.
Two of the players who filled in for Ramos while he was injured and could take his spot this year were senior Brian Wilhite and sophomore Isaiah Pasteur.
