Romero's Changeup Creating Buzz, Victories For Jays
2nd July, 2009 - 11:47 am
ESPN - Ricky Romero pitched four-hit ball over eight innings, Rod Barajas, helping the Jays end the Tampa Bay Rays' seven-game winning streak with a 5-0 victory Wednesday.

"[Romero] throws a decent fastball but he has an above-average changeup," Tampa Bay slugger Pat Burrell said. "He was mixing it up and locating it fairly well. We just weren't able to make the adjustment."

Barajas said Romero's off-speed pitch has few equals.

"I've caught some good changeups and he's right up there with the best I've caught," Barajas said.

"That was one of my pitches the past two offseasons," Romero said. "Just working on that pitch, trying to throw the hell out of it when I played catch. It's becoming better and it's just getting better every time." [READ]
