JoJo Romero has made relief appearances in 22 games for the Philadelphia Phillies, but the 24-year-old has yet to make a major league start.

Romero has a recent history of getting off to a slow start at a new level — which could be why the minor-league starter has yet to throw the first pitch in a big-league game.

The left-handed pitcher has proven his ability to get better over time and the back of the Phillies rotation remains in question.
