2012 BA's Yankees Top 10: Austin Romine
8. Austin Romine, c
Background: Romine became the third member of his family to reach the
majors, following dad Kevin and older brother Andrew. He debuted in front
of his parents and against his brother's team, the Angels, in September.
It was a positive end to a challenging season in which he missed time with
a June concussion and an August back injury.
Scouting Report: In an organization full of bat-first catchers, Romine
sticks out for his athletic ability and solid defensive tools. Flexible
and agile, he's a sound receiver who has added polish with experience.
While he has plus arm strength, his inconsistent throwing accuracy led to
him nabbing just 23 percent of basestealers in each of the last two
seasons. Like his arm, Romine's raw power rates as above-average but
doesn't play that well in games. His high leg kick results in streaky
offensive production. He has become a poor runner and seemed to play with
less energy in 2011.
The Future: Some scouts thought Romine got stale repeating a level in 2011
and will watch to see if he responds to a promotion in 2012. His defense
still could make him New York's long-term future catcher, with the
offensive upside of a .270 hitter with 10-15 homers.
