In 44 combined appearances between the three affiliates, he pitched to a 4.34 ERA with 56 strikeouts and 7 saves across 47+2⁄3 innings of work.[4] He split the 2022 season between Charlotte, Kannapolis, and the rookie–level Arizona Complex League White Sox, accumulating a 6.39 ERA with 28 strikeouts and 4 saves in 25+1⁄3 innings pitched.[5]
In 2023, Ramsey made 32 appearances for Triple–A Charlotte, recording a 4–4 record and 5.50 ERA with 48 strikeouts and 6 saves in 36.0 innings.
