+ OF Kaiden Romens (Hartford, 2026) skillset and toolset was on display on Sunday during the event. Romens showed enough speed during his 60 yard dash (7.03 seconds) to be an impactful baserunner and defender in the outfield. Next, with the bat, Romens was showcasing extremely quick hands from his downhill left handed swing as he was barrelling up the baseball consistently throughout his round. His 97 mph max exit velocity number is up 7 mph from the last time we saw him in 2024. His throwing arm was 87 mph from the outfield from a loose, clean and fluid arm stroke and is a weapon for the junior outfielder. Kaiden Romens is a name that our staff continues to be impressed with and he continues to improve in all aspects of his game and is ready for a big spring.

Kaiden Romens, Hartford Union (WI), 2026
Positional Profile: OF/LHP
Body: 5-7, 148-pounds. Athletic build, wiry strong, more fill coming.
Hit: LHH. Wider base with relaxed hands, simple move with consistent trigger on time. Flat and short path with bat speed, hits rockets middle to pull side. 68.6 mph bat speed with 23 G's of rotational acceleration.

ATH: 7.39 runner in the 60. 28.80 max vertical.
The sophomore sets up with a wide base and relaxed hands, working into a simple load that enabled him to be on-time consistently. Romens has a short, flat bat path that generates some easy bat speed, leading to hard line drives to the middle of the field and pull-side. The 5-foot-7, 148-pound Romens topped out at 90.5 mph in exit velocity. In the outfield, Romens showed athleticism with a clean gather into a crow hop and quick release. The arm is quick, working up to 83 mph.
Romens is a 5-foot-8, 150-pound outfielder who was on the barrel across a couple of looks this weekend. Romens, a left-handed hitter, swings a quick and direct bat that has the ability to shoot that ball to the whole field. His bat-to-ball skills are noteworthy and he is surely a prospect to continue to keep tabs on as he continues to develop.
