Lost in the constant chatter of how bad the Washington Nationals bullpen is the emergence of Enny Romero as a strong force.
In June, the hard-throwing Romero has not allowed an earned run over 14.2 innings and 12 games. He whiffed 16 while scattering eight hits and walks while converting his lone save opportunity.
With most of the discussion on social media focused on a lack of closer and how the bullpen will blow whatever lead Max Scherzer and company give them, Romero quietly has done his job.
In his fourth season in Major League Baseball, Romero’s success comes this year with his ability to control his wildness.
