Born on March 4, 1983, Sergio Francisco Romo is a 39-year-old Major League Baseball pitcher who currently plays for the Seattle Mariners.
He has previously played for the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, Minnesota Twins, and Oakland Athletics in the Major League Baseball (MLB). His key pitch is his slider, which he has used as a closer in the past.
Romo, who was born in Brawley, California, grew up as a Dodgers fan. He attended four institutions before being picked by the Giants in the 28th round of the 2005 draft.
In 2008, he was promoted to the major leagues and participated in 45 games for the Giants in 2009. As the Giants won the World Series in 2010, he became the setup man for closer Brian Wilson.
In 2011, he had a 1.50 earned run average (ERA), and in 2012, he became the Giants’ closer, getting three saves in the 2012 World Series as the Giants won the championship.
He was an All-Star in 2013, and despite losing his closer job the following year, he earned his third World Series ring in 2014, when the Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals.
Romo signed with the Dodgers for 2017 after two seasons with the Giants. In 2018, he was designated for assignment and acquired by the Rays.
In 2018, he was the first pitcher employed as part of Rays manager Kevin Cash’s opener plan. Later that year, he was named the closer for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After the season, he became a free agent and signed with the Marlins, where he served as the closer until being dealt to the Twins halfway through the year.
In 2019 and 2020, he made the playoffs with Minnesota before becoming a free agent once more.
