The Boston Red Sox selected high school shortstop Mikey Romero with the No. 24 pick on Sunday, making him the third consecutive high school infielder to be selected by the team in the first round.
While baseball analysts reacted to the pick and what it could mean for the Red Sox, Romero himself reacted on Twitter with some posts that are sure to make Boston fans smile.
The 18-year-old quickly made his intentions clear, tweeting, “Time to win a world Series’s. GO TIME” over the team’s announcement of his selection.
Romero later shared an interaction with Red Sox prospect Marcelo Mayer, calling the 2021 first-round pick his “brother” when Mayer congratulated him on the selection. Romero and Mayer were travel ball teammates in California and reportedly share an agent/advisor in John Boggs according to MassLive’s Chris Cotillo.
Finally, Romero shared a picture of himself in his little league days wearing a Red Sox uniform.
While Boston works on getting Romero signed and into its system, Red Sox fans can enjoy how quickly the club’s newest draft pick has ingratiated himself to the organization.
