Fantasy Impact:
Romo appeared in 19 games for the Rockies between 2024 and 2025 and struggled to a .167 average in 56 plate appearances. Romo is a career .277 hitter in five minor league seasons and has thrown out 26% of attempted base stealers. With youngsters Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero on the big league roster, it appears that Romo will provide organizational depth at catcher in Triple-A Charlotte.
