Romero drew some draft interest out of high school before spending three seasons at Central Arizona JC, where he hit .346/.476/.674 with 36 home runs. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound first baseman then moved to Arizona, where he had a standout 2023 campaign and hit .343/.439/.721 with 21 home runs and 17 doubles with a 19.6% strikeout rate and 12.6% walk rate. Romero hits the ball hard with a 90th percentile exit velocity of 108-109 mph and shows his power in-game to all fields. That power does come with swing-and-miss tendencies, and he had an overall miss rate at around 29%. Despite a 12.6% walk rate, Romero also showed a tendency to expand and chase out of the zone at times. A shortstop and catcher in high school, Romero has primarily played first base with Arizona, but also has experience in both corner outfield spots. He’s slow out of the box and is a 30-grade runner.
