Romo brings real presence to the box. At 6’2”, 195, he’s already built like a middle-of-the-order bat, and the metrics back it up. He posted a 99.8 mph max exit velo, averaged over 92 mph, and launched a ball 384 feet — a clear indicator of raw power that’s just getting started. The swing is loud, and it’s easy to see the damage potential when he steps in.
Even with the physicality, there’s feel for the barrel — a 50% sweet spot rate and 64% hard-hit percentage stand out, especially for a player this young. His swing path produces carry, and when he gets extended, the ball takes off. Whether it’s gap-to-gap or leaving the yard, Romo looks like a true power threat in the making.
The glove will likely profile at first or a corner outfield spot, but the bat is going to be his ticket. He’s one of those guys that makes the cage stop when he gets rolling — expect him to be a name college recruiters circle early.
