Salvatore J. Romano (born October 12, 1993) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Career

Romano was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 23rd round of the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft out of Southington High School in Southington, Connecticut.[1] He signed with the Reds rather than attended the University of Tennessee.

After signing, Romano made his professional debut with the Billings Mustangs and he spent the whole season there, going 5-6 with a 5.32 ERA in 15 starts. He spent 2013 with the Dayton Dragons where he compiled a 7-11 record and 4.86 ERA in 15 starts, and he returned there in 2014, going 8-11 with a 4.12 ERA in 28 starts.[2][3] He spent 2015 with the Daytona Tortugas and Pensacola Blue Wahoos,[4][5] compiling a combined 6-9 record and 4.82 ERA in 26 games (25 starts). After the season, the Reds added him to their 40-man roster. In 2016, Romano returned to Pensacola where he pitched to a 6-11 record with a 3.52 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 27 starts.

Romano began the 2017 season with the Louisville Bats. He was recalled to the Reds on April 16 and he made his major league debut that same day. Romano was sent back down to Louisville two days later. He was recalled from Louisville multiple times during the season before being recalled for the last time on July 18. In ten starts for Louisville he was 1-4 with a 3.47 ERA, and in 16 starts for Cincinnati, he compiled a 5-8 record and 4.45 ERA.[6]

Romano began 2018 as a member of Cincinnati's starting rotation.
