For his junior and senior years, Romo played NCAA Division II baseball at two colleges: the University of North Alabama (2004) and Mesa State College (2005). He was named First-Team All-Gulf South Conference in 2004 while playing for North Alabama and was 10–3 with a 3.69 ERA in 97.1 innings.[10] In his senior year with Mesa State, he was the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year.[11]

A right elbow sprain caused Romo to start the 2009 season on the disabled list, but he was activated on May 30, 2009.
2010
Romo got off to a tough start in the 2010 season, posting a 4.50 ERA through his first 14 games and losing three of them. Starting May 9, he posted a 1.50 ERA in his final 54 games of the year. In mid-June, Giants' manager Bruce Bochy removed the struggling Guillermo Mota from the setup role and replaced him with Romo, who held it for the rest of the regular season.[24][25] Romo gained notoriety for being one of the team's relief pitchers with a prominent beard, along with LHP Jeremy Affeldt and closer Brian Wilson.[26] In 68 games (second to Wilson on the Giants), Romo had a 5–3 record, a 2.18 ERA, 70 strikeouts, and 14 walks in 62 innings. This year, he held right-handed batters to a .185 average. His 5.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio ranked sixth among NL relievers, and his 2.18 ERA ranked 10th.[8]

2013
In February 2013, Romo and the Giants agreed to a two-year, $9 million contract.[44] Romo began the 2013 season as the Giants' closer. He had 10 saves in April, second in Giants' history for the month to Rod Beck (11).[8] On July 14, he was added to the NL All Star Game roster after Jeff Locke and Jordan Zimmermann made starts on Sunday and became ineligible to pitch. It was the first All-Star selection of his career.[45] However, Romo was not used in the All-Star Game.[46] In August, Romo converted all nine of his save opportunities.[8] Romo finished the 2013 season with a 2.54 earned run average and 38 saves in 43 chances, appearing in 65 games. He had a career-high five wins but also a career-high eight losses.[8] His 38 saves made him the sixth Giant to achieve 30 saves in a season and tied him for third in the league with Chapman, behind Kimbrel's 50 and Rafael Soriano's 43.[8][47]
2014
Romo began the 2014 season well, with a 1.65 ERA and 12 saves through May 9. However, Romo struggled after that, recording five blown saves and a 9.00 ERA from May 9 to June 30. Romo was removed from the closer role on that date, with the Giants announcing their intention to go to a closer-by-committee.[48] Used as the eighth inning setup man for the remainder of the season, Romo appeared 30 times after July 1 and had a 2.10 ERA over 25+2⁄3 innings with 32 strikeouts and 5 walks.[49] He finished the year 6–4 with a 3.72 ERA, 59 strikeouts in 58 innings, and 12 walks over 64 games. In save opportunities, he was 23 for 28.[8] In the 2014 NLDS against the Washington Nationals, Romo pitched three scoreless innings over three games.[31] He took the loss in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Cardinals after allowing a game-ending home run to Kolten Wong.[50] He recovered to earn the win in Game 3 by retiring Matt Holliday as the Giants won in extra innings.[51] In the 2014 World Series, Romo appeared in two games, pitching 21⁄3 innings with four strikeouts and no runs allowed, earning his third World Series championship with the Giants.[52][53] On December 22, 2014, Romo and the Giants finalized a two-year contract worth $15 million.[54]
2015
He spent the 2015 season serving as the eighth-inning setup man for Casilla, who had reclaimed the closer role.[55][56] After posting a 5.19 ERA before the All-Star break, Romo posted a 1.15 ERA in the second half of the season.[55][57] He did not allow a run over 14 innings between July 11 and August 21.[55] On August 18, he struck out all three batters he faced in the eighth inning of a 2–0 win over the Cardinals.[58] In 70 games, he had an 0–5 record, two saves, a 2.98 ERA, and 71 strikeouts in 57+1⁄3 innings pitched.[52]
2016
Romo pitched in a mere four games in 2016 before being placed on the disabled list on April 15 (retroactive to April 11) with a strained right flexor tendon.
Los Angeles Dodgers (2017)
Romo signed a one-year, $3 million, contract with the Dodgers on February 15, 2017. "In talking to Sergio, last year we had one of best bullpens in baseball and that lends itself to unselfishness," manager
Tampa Bay Rays (2017–2018)
On July 22, 2017, the Dodgers traded Romo to the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations or a player to be named later (PTBNL).[69] He spent the rest of the season in Tampa Bay's bullpen, posting a 2–0 record and a 1.47 ERA in 25 games.[8] In 55 games combined between Los Angeles and Tampa Bay, he had a 3–1 record, no saves, a 3.56 ERA, and 59 strikeouts in 55+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8] After the season, he became a free agent.[52]
Romo re-signed with the Rays on a one-year, $2.5 million, contract on February 13, 2018.
Miami Marlins (2019)
On February 12, 2019, Romo signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the
Minnesota Twins (2019–2020)
Upon joining the Twins, Romo became the setup man for Twins closer Taylor Rogers.[85] On August 27, he struck out all three men he faced in the eighth inning of a 3–1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.[86] In 27 games for Minnesota, he had an 0–1 record, three saves in five chances, a 3.18 ERA, and 27 strikeouts in 22+2⁄3 innings.[8] He appeared in a total of 65 games between Miami and Minnesota, compiling a 2–1 record, a 3.43 ERA, 20 saves in 23 chances, and 60 strikeouts in 60+1⁄3 innings.[8]
Romo helped the Twins reach the playoffs as they won the AL Central title in 2019.[87][88] In Game 2 of the ALDS, he got the first two outs of the eighth inning without surrendering a run; however, the Twins lost to the New York Yankees by a score of 8–2.[88] Entering Game 3 with the Twins down 3–1 in the eighth inning, he threw a scoreless eighth but allowed two runs in the ninth as the Yankees won 5–1, completing a series sweep of the Twins.[89] After the season, Romo became a free agent.[52]
On December 16, 2019, Romo elected to return to the Twins for the 2020 season, signing a 1-year, $5 million deal with a team option for 2021.
For the second year in a row, Romo reached the playoffs as the Twins clinched the AL Central title.[97] In Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Houston Astros, he relieved Rogers to start the ninth inning with the game tied by a score of 1–1. He gave up two hits before retiring the next two batters. Then, George Springer hit into what should have been a force play at second base, but Jorge Polanco's throw to second base was too far off the bag, and the error allowed Springer to reach safely. Romo then walked José Altuve to force in a run before getting replaced on the mound by Caleb Thielbar, who gave up a two-run single to Michael Brantley. None of the runs were earned, but Romo was charged with the loss in the 4–1 defeat.[98] The Astros eliminated the Twins with a win in Game 2.[99] On October 28, the Twins declined to exercise their $5 million option on Romo's contract for the 2021 season, giving him a $250,000 buyout and making him a free agent.[100]
Oakland Athletics (2021)
On February 14, 2021, Romo signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Oakland Athletics.[101] Romo made 66 appearances throughout the 2021 season for Oakland. Romo went 1–1 with a 4.67 ERA and 60 strikeouts. Romo elected free agency following the season.
Seattle Mariners (2022)
On March 24, 2022, Romo signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Seattle Mariners.[102] Romo made 17 appearances for Seattle, struggling to a 8.16 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 14.1 innings pitched. He was designated for assignment on June 20,[103] and released on June 22.[104]
Toronto Blue Jays (2022)
On June 29, 2022, Romo signed a one-year, $700K contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.[105] Romo appeared in 6 games for Toronto, surrendering 3 runs (2 earned) on 1 hit and 2 walks in 3.2 innings pitched. He was designated for assignment on July 16. On July 20, Romo cleared waivers and was sent outright to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, but rejected the assignment and elected free agency that same day.[106]
Acereros de Monclova (2022)
On August 1, 2022, Romo signed with the Acereros de Monclova of the Mexican League.[107] He made two appearances for Monclova down the stretch, posting two scoreless innings of work.
San Francisco Giants (second stint)
On March 16, 2023, Romo signed a minor league contract with the San Francisco Giants organization, with the intention to retire as a Giant after pitching one final time in the March 27 Bay Bridge exhibition game against the Oakland Athletics.[108]
International play
By virtue of his Mexican heritage, Romo has represented Mexico in international play. In the 2013 World Baseball Classic, he posted a 9.00 ERA, losing a game but also earning a save.[8] Mexico failed to advance past the first round.[109] In 2017, Romo was excited about Mexico's chances in the classic. "This team is well put together. I do honestly believe that this is one of the strongest teams that Mexico has ever put forth in any kind of tournament and any kind of situation. Not just from a pitching standpoint, but our lineup has a lot of power and guys that can run a little bit. I see us playing a more well-rounded brand of baseball. With all due respect to all of the other teams, don't sleep on us."[110] However, Mexico again failed to advance past the first round.[111] Romo posted a 20.25 ERA in that tournament.[8]
Romo also represented Mexico in the 2017 Caribbean Series, appearing in one game. Next season, he appeared in three games for Mexico in the 2018 Caribbean Series. Following the 2016, 2017, and 2018 MLB seasons, Romo played for the Charros de Jalisco of the Mexican Pacific League.[14]
Pitches
With a low-three quarters delivery, Romo features four pitches: an unusual "No Dot" slider, a fastball, a
For most of his career, Romo has struggled against left-handed batters.[113] After experimenting with using his changeup on them in 2014, he decided to try throwing a harder, faster slider to them in 2015.[113] Since then, he has returned to trying to get them out with the changeup.[81]
Personal life
Romo married his now ex-wife Chelsea before he reached the major leagues. The couple had their first child, a boy named Rilen, in January 2006.[4] Their second son, Rex was born in September 2011 and their third son Rhys in August 2015.[116]
Romo has a number of tattoos and estimates that he has spent approximately 60 hours in tattoo parlors in his life.[114]
