Roberto Sanchez Ramírez (born August 17, 1972) is a Mexican former professional baseball pitcher. Known as "Metralleta" (Machine gun in Spanish), he played two seasons in the majors, pitching in 21 games for the San Diego Padres in 1998 and 34 games for the Colorado Rockies in 1999. On August 15, 1999, Ramirez picked up the only save of his career, holding down a 8-2 Rockies victory over the Montreal Expos. He pitched the 8th and 9th innings, striking out two batters and allowing no runs. He saved the win for John Thomson.[1] He joined the Diablos Rojos for the 2001 season.

Sánchez retired in April 2014 and last played for the Diablos Rojos del México. On his last game with the Diablos, his number #25 was retired by the team.[2]
