Romo is a sell — the bat is short of league in every way.

He is averaging 84.3 mph off the bat, roughly five mph below league, and his 26.3% hard-hit rate is 14 points short of average. Those contact numbers have had 133 batted balls to settle, so they are not noise. His expected wOBA is .262, .053 below league average, and his actual wOBA of .241 sits right there with it. No luck is dragging the line down — the results match the skill. His expected wOBA has been stepping down across the sample, which is the wrong direction for anyone hoping the bat comes around. The strikeout rate is near league and the walk rate is fine, but the quality of contact behind them is not. There is no adjustment coming that fixes this. Sell. With a 0 HR / 0 R / 0 RBI / 0 SB / .000 AVG ROS line, he's a drop — streaming-only, not a hold.
