A player to keep an eye on

Fernando Romero has the potential to anchor a Major League rotation in the near future. He is currently the Minnesota Twins number two ranked prospect and will be in the mix if Minnesota needs a starter during the 2018 season. His future is as bright as they come, we may see it soon in the Twin Cities.

Romero was solid last season pitching in Double-A Chattanooga. He started 23 games with a 3.53 ERA and 141 strikeouts in 125 innings pitched. His 3.2 BB/9 is evidence of a pitcher who keeps it around the strike zone. He is a big piece in the future for the Minnesota Twins.

This season, Romero will test his stuff against the highest level of the Minor Leagues. The Twins still have questions in the rotation as we look past the 2018 season. Romero is sure to be part of the answer, and that’s an exciting thing for Twins fans.

The Minnesota Twins Minor League system will have a lot of success once again during this season. We will surely see some of these players playing in the Majors throughout points of this season. Keep an eye on Puckett’s Pond for all the latest Twins-related news.
