A left-handed power bat behind the plate, Romero Jr. made his presence felt in his first year as a Hurricane.

Following two seasons at Vanderbilt, the Miramar, Fla., native totaled a .272 average with 12 home runs and 54 RBI in 2022. Romero Jr., who finished with a .378 on-base percentage and a .507 slugging percentage, earned a spot on the Bragan Award Watch List, as well as the Buster Posey Award Watch List.

The 6-foot-1, 218-pound catcher shined down the stretch of conference play, tallying a pair of multi-homer efforts against Georgia Tech and Notre Dame in two of the final three ACC series.

.270 / .388 / .811, 4HRs and a SB in 137 ABs.

Awful month. But he caught every game he played in. Have to imagine his playing time will drop significantly with Lomavita now at AA.

.925 is his OPS, not SLG, right?

.925 is his OPS, not SLG, right?

yes.

.294 / 1.003, with 7HR so far.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I don't see any posts about his D reputation.

30 K% in AA won't cut it.

he’d have to leapfrog Ford.
