Will Enny Romero become a weapon for the Washington Nationals?

Enny Romero’s fastball sits at 97 mph and he’s dialed it up to 99.8 mph according to Fangraphs.com’s PITCHf/x numbers. He’s mixed in his cutter (90.1 mph average) and slider (85.8 mph) early this season as well.

Romero, 26, is throwing more strikes in the zone (60.2% Zone % on his fastball, up from 46.6% last season and 50.8% in his career). He’s allowed just two walks in 7 23 innings so far this season.

He earned his first win of the season with a scoreless inning of work in New York earlier this week, impressing his manager in the process.
