Johan Valentín Camargo Ramos (born December 13, 1993) is a Panamanian professional baseball infielder for the Toledo Mud Hens, in the Detroit Tigers organization. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies.
Johan Camargo was born in Panama City, Panama, on December 13, 1993. His parents named him after the footballer Johan Cruyff. When playing baseball as a child, Camargo naturally batted and threw left handed. His father taught him to throw with his right hand, and Camargo stopped using his left hand for that skill. He later focused on switch-hitting, and joined his first organized baseball league at the age of 13.
Camargo signed with the Atlanta Braves for $42,000 as a 16-year old out of Panama in July 2010.
