Biography

Victor Romero has been a part of the OSU program for over a decade, first as a standout catcher for the Pokes then through serving in numerous capacities within the program before joining the coaching staff as an assistant in July 2023. Romero is now in his ninth season on the full-time staff with OSU baseball. “Victor was a leader on our first team here the year I got hired – he had a team-first attitude and ran the team from behind the plate on an NCAA Regional team,” Holliday said. “He was also a member of our coaching staff on the 2019 NCAA Super Regional club and mentored All-Big 12 catcher Colin Simpson along the way, and he has been integral part of our program’s success during my tenure here. “The catching position will be in great hands with him leading our guys. Victor has worked with me side-by-side the past several years in all phases of the program and will thrive in his new role on the field, working with the catchers and helping develop our offensive skills while taking on a major role in the recruiting process.” In his first season as an assistant in 2024, Romero coached All-Americans Carson Benge and Nolan Schubart and helped develop Benge into a MLB Draft first-round pick. The ’24 season saw the Cowboys belt 118 home runs, the seventh most in program history and their highest total since 1999. OSU led the Big 12 in homers, runs, RBIs and walks. Prior to joining the coaching staff, Romero had served as the Cowboys’ director of baseball operations since August
