Notes

3/28/24
Much like his teammate Guarisco above, Romero is another talented prospect in the Hahnville 2027 class. We last saw Romero at our Baton Rouge Preseason ID, and his body looked to be strong, as he currently stands in at a solid 5'11" 200 lbs. Romero had been hitting over .400 over his last few games, and finished last Thursday's contest against Lutcher 1-3 with a R and a BB. He showed good strike-zone discipline and never chased out of the zone. His base-hit was a first pitch single back up the middle, where he maintained a tight & compact turn to deliver a heavy barrel to contact. He also made a really nice diving catch in right field and nearly made another, but still had the awareness to pop up and gun the runner out at second base. The uncommitted freshman also doubles as a pretty good mid-80's arm on the mound, and is a two-way player that we're excited to continue to track over the coming years.
