Jordan Romano, a native of Canada, made his major league debut after pitching for the Italian national team.
Romano struck out 14 batters in 9 1/3 innings as a freshman at Connors State College in junior college, and 53 batters in 38 innings as a sophomore (4-3, 4.74) when his team advanced to the 2013 NJCAA Division I Baseball World Series.

He missed the entire 2015 season due to Tommy John surgery. When he returned to the game in 2016, he went 3-2 with a 2.11 ERA and a.191 opponent average in four starts.
He pitched five no-hit innings against the Peoria Chiefs, walking two and striking out five, but Romano took the loss because a player he walked (Craig Aikin) advanced on an error and scored on a sacrifice fly after DeGraaf came in, resulting in a 1-0 loss for Lansing. It was only the franchise’s second no-hitter in its history.
