Wilberto "Will" Ramos joined the FMU family as head baseball coach in Summer 2024.
Fresh off his role in the prestigious MLB Elite Development Program as an MLB consultant since 2022, Ramos has been instrumental in shaping the future of baseball. In 2023, he served as the mental baseball coach and assistant college place for the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy, expertly guiding families through the pivotal transition from high school to college athletics.
Ramos's tenure as the head baseball coach for Talladega College from 2008–2016 is nothing short of historic. He resurrected the program after a 12-year absence, setting a school record along the way with 39 regular-season wins. His leadership abilities were on full display as he steered the team to consecutive conference tournament championships in 2013 and 2014, culminating in the school's inaugural NAIA Opening National Tournament appearance. Under his mentorship, 29 players earned all-conference honors, and one achieved the coveted all-American status. His earlier roles at Missouri Southern State University from 2006–2008 laid the groundwork for his illustrious coaching journey.
Beyond the diamond, Ramos's strategic vision as the Director of Athletics for both Talladega College and the University of the Virgin Islands led to transformative growth and resilience, particularly in the wake of two devastating category-five hurricanes at UVI. His entrepreneurial spirit shined through as the founder of Baseball Plus Academy, where he provided a platform for emerging talent to shine before professional scouts and college coaches from 2015 to 2016.
A proud alumnus of Missouri Southern State University, Ramos holds a bachelor's degree in Spanish with a minor in history, a master's degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University, Irvine, and a suite of professional certifications from Sports Management Worldwide.
