Enny Romero is a name that seems familiar to me but he last pitched in the major leagues in 2018. He spent most of his career in the Rays organization and and put up good numbers with the Nationals in 2018. He pitched in Japan from 2109-2022 and his experience the last two seasons has been in the Dominican Winter League. He's coming off a terrific performance in the DWL. Don't forget during the championship run, the Giants found several hidden gems in the DWL including Ryan Vogelsong RHP and Gregor Blanco OF.
Enny Romero LHP: DOB: 1/24/1991. 6' 3", 232 lbs.
2024/2025(DWL): 6-1, 1.24, 51 IP, 3.4 BB/9, 8.3 K/9.
Over his career, Romero has worked as both a SP and RP. He made 10 Starts in the DWL. At times he sported a FB that hit triple digits including a recorded 102 MPH FB that struck out Freddie Freeman in 2017. There is a MLB video of him striking out 6 batters in a game 12/17/2024. No radar gun readings but it looked like the FB had was getting up there quick. His pitch count was 104 on the final K. Someone to pay attention to in spring training.
Another low risk left handed arm. I like this one.
ReplyDeleteSeems like something FZ might have done...
ReplyDeleteTrue this is a pitcher that FZ would have looked at but this makes sense because it is an area of need and left handed relief pitching was a need last season, also. Any decent GM would take a chance like this.
ReplyDeleteWhere FZ differs is that he would see a guy like Yermin Mercedes and saw that he played backup catcher for a couple of games with the White Sox and immediately pursue him to backup Bailey. FZ would go after a player if they could make a place on the team for him whereas Buster is only interested if the player can fit the team.
