When Craig Biggio was playing, it was all about finding athletic catchers and turning them into middle infielders. Then the Colorado Rockies found Tony Wolters, and nobody dared “dash on the stache,” after he turned from middle infielder into a catcher. Now the Colorado Rockies may have found a similar athlete after their Compensatory Round A selection in the 2020 MLB Draft.
Drew Romo came into the draft as the top high school catcher and left the first day as the fifth catcher drafted overall, and the second high school catcher after Tyler Soderstrom was taken 26th overall by the Oakland A’s.
