Last updated

35+2⁄3 innings across four levels without making it back to the major leagues.

In January 2022, he was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Sweeny, Texas. [21] Romero was placed on the 60-day injured list on April 7, 2022, with a left calf strain. [22] He began a rehab assignment on August 24 with the rookie–level Florida Complex League Nationals. [23] He was activated from the injured list on August 27 and optioned to the Double–A Harrisburg Senators. [24] Romero was released by the Nationals on November 14, 2022, after he was again arrested in Sweeny for driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance. [25]

Cleburne Railroaders

On May 7, 2024, Romero signed with the Cleburne Railroaders of the American Association of Professional Baseball. [26] He made 2 appearances out of the bullpen, registering a 20.25 ERA with 7 strikeouts over 4 innings. On May 15, Romero was released by the Railroaders. [26]

Pitching style

Romero throws left-handed, with a fastball that sits at about 93 miles per hour (150 km/h). He also throws a slider regarded by scouts as "above-average", as well as a changeup. In college, he was known as a strikeout pitcher with solid command of his pitches. [27] After drafting Romero, the Washington Nationals said publicly they planned to develop him as a starting pitcher rather than pressing him into a relief role. [28]
