Power Arm, Late-Inning Edge, and a Big-League Path
In the 2026 season, Richie Roman showed why scouts keep circling his name: the 6-foot-4, right-handed Houston arm posted a 3.86 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 13 appearances and four starts, after a 2025 run that included seven saves and 98 career strikeouts across 40 games. His calling card is real bat-missing stuff — his fastball has reportedly touched 97 mph — plus the competitive swagger to close games or work out of jams. If your team wants a high-upside arm with pro traits and bullpen/rotation flexibility, Roman is a pretty tasty pickup.
