At 6’0" and 200 pounds, Avery won’t blind you with athleticism. However, that’s not to say that he’s without tools.

A right-handed hitter, Romero has one of the most promising hit tools in the entire 2012 draft class. He has plus raw bat speed, a direct bat path and enough loft in his swing to take it out to all fields. Furthermore, he makes adjustments at the plate but still maintains a consistent approach.

Although he’s spent most of his prep career manning the left side of the infield, it’s almost common knowledge that his career is behind the plate. He’s obviously still raw at the position, so it’s doubtful he’ll reach the big leagues at the position until 2016 at the earliest. However, his soft hands and strong, accurate arm make him a perfect fit and already have him ahead of the curve.
