Romero is hitting .243 with six home runs, 25 strikeouts and two walks in 16 games with Double-A Portland.
Romero went on an absolute tear for High-A Greenville in the middle of the summer, slashing .345/.398/.673 with eight home runs in 27 games from July 10 through Aug. 25, which earned him a promotion to Double-A on Aug. 27. The 20-year-old shortstop appears to be a little overmatched against Double-A pitching, but he's still gotten to significant power, and he's ahead of schedule relative to his peers. A first-round pick in 2022, Romero has already more than doubled his career games played total this year, as he has missed significant time with lower-back issues, and he even missed time earlier this year with more back trouble.
