| Summary: Romero’s offensive profile has shifted noticeably in pro ball, with added strength pushing him toward a power-over-hit identity. The swing is built for lift and damage, producing frequent airborne contact and real thump when he gets the barrel out front, particularly to the pull side. There’s enough bat speed and strength for gap-to-gap impact and occasional opposite-field carry, and the baseball IQ shows in how he looks to hunt damage zones. That said, the approach is aggressive, with chase creeping in and strikeouts limiting the reliability of the hit tool on a day-to-day basis. How often he stays within himself and avoids expanding will dictate how playable the bat becomes against better sequencing. Defensively, the range has backed up from his amateur look, pushing him off the middle of the infield. The hands and arm remain playable, but the actions now fit best on the left side, with third base the most likely long-term home. He’s a below-average runner, so the value is going to be driven almost entirely by the bat. There’s enough offensive upside for a regular if the swing decisions tighten and the contact quality holds, but without that step forward, the profile trends more toward a power-capable corner infielder who fits best in a complementary role. | |||||||||||
