CLEARWATER, Fla. JoJo Romero knows what he is this spring, so its a chance to discover who he is. His future remained unsettled a year ago because the Phillies hadnt determined whether Romero would continue as a starter or shift into a full-time bullpen role. He did enough in 2020 to convince them the bullpen was the right place.<\/p>\n
Now, in Romeros mind, comes the fun part.<\/p>\n
Everything is now with a reliever mindset, said Romero, 24. So its going to be interesting to see how Im able to do all that for that full year. And Im excited for it.<\/p>\n
The spunky lefty loves to tinker. He threw four different pitches as a reliever in the majors, which is not normal. (Starters tend to whittle it to two or three in relief roles.) It was even weirder when he realized his change-up was now an out pitch even to lefties. <\/p>\n
