Braeden Romero brings innings-eating size and strikeout upside to Manhattan’s rotation
In the 2026 season, Manhattan right-hander Braeden Romero has been a steady starter with visible swing-and-miss juice, highlighted by a five-inning, five-strikeout win over Iona and a six-inning quality start against Seton Hall in Puerto Rico. He’s a 6-foot-4, 205-pound senior who gives the Jaspers a physical, durable mound presence, and his 2025 season showed he could handle a starter’s workload with 46.0 innings and 32 strikeouts. If your team wants a big-bodied, competitive RHP who can absorb innings and flash out-pitch moments, Romero absolutely fits the profile.
