The 2023 WBC Star player’s movie resume Vol.27: Jordan Romano (Tronto Blue Jays): Major Candidate for Team Canada: “Canadian Closer shutting the door with only 2 arsenals!”

Today's player's resume is about the Toronto Blue Jays closer, Jordan Romano. He is from Ontario, Canada, and can join Team Canada in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

Jordan Romano was selected with the 294th overall selection by the Blue Jays in the tenth round of the 2014 MLB draft.

Romano made his major league debut on June 12th, 2019, against the Baltimore Orioles and picked up his first career win on July 24th, 2020, facing the Tampa Bay Rays and collected his first save on August 21st, against the Rays that year.

In 2021, the 29-year-old righty became a closer for the Blue Jays and was 7-1 with a 2.14 ERA across 62 games, striking out 85 batters in 63 innings.

In 2022, the Canadian closer appeared in 63 contests and 64 frames, his career most, and went 5-4 with a 2.11, collecting 36 saves, the third most in the American League.

He has had 14-8 with a 2.58 ERA in 157 innings and 157 games, having struck out 200 hitters at the end of the 2022 season in his MLB career.

KAISPO's baseball analyst commented, "Romano shuts the door and gets many strikeouts with only two arsenals, such as 4-seam and slider. His 4-seam velocity is faster than 100 mph, and his slider is sharp. Also, his control is excellent, and the combination of the two is ideal."
