Florida Draft Recaps: Paul Labriola, Max Romero Jr, Carter Stewart

Maxwell Romero Jr. C / Pembroke Pines Charter, FL / 2019

The Vanderbilt recruit looks to have become more lean throughout his strong and durable frame. Defensively, he continued to show above average feel for the position, while he could simplify his setup some and let his hands work more naturally, the tools are there and nuances will continue to improve with reps. He is flexible and gets into good positions while also showing an above average arm with pop times in the 1.9 range. Offensively, he was clearly superior to his South Broward counterpart. Sat on a below average fastball twice, barrelling both for singles and a pair of RBIs. He stays balanced, stacked on his back side and generates above average bat speed. Overall, has a chance to be an above average defender and hit for both average and power.
