Rockies' Drew Romo: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Romo was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Rockies camp.
Romo, the 35th overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft out of a high school in Texas, batted just .254/.321/.372 with five home runs over 102 games last season at High-A Spokane. He is only 21 years old and there's a lot to like in his long-term fantasy outlook as a catcher with good speed.

Rockies' Drew Romo: Hot start in Spokane
Rotowire
Romo is hitting .347/.390/.514 with two home runs, 14 RBI and 14 runs scored across 82 plate appearances with High-A Spokane to begin the 2022 season.
Romo's primary draw as a prospect is his defensive ability. His upside with the bat has been less clear, with particular concern about his hit tool. However, he's struck out at just a 15.9 percent clip to begin the season at Spokane, and he maintained a similar mark with Single-A Fresno last year. Romo will get more of a test once he advances to the upper levels of the minors, but his .401 wOBA and 154 wRC+ are positive indicators for the time being.
