Jordan Romano&#8217;s red hot start to the year has been recognized.

Romano was named the American League&#8217;s top reliever of the month for April after leading the AL in saves.
For Romano, it&#8217;s his first time receiving the honour after a month that saw him save 10 of the Blue Jays&#8217; 14 win in April. All the while, he recorded a 1.59 ERA through 11.1 IP. He struck out 13 opposing batters, while limiting them to a .195 batting average.
His play has been at a high level for a while, dating all the way back to May 11, 2021, as the MLB noted. Since then, he&#8217;s posted a 1.89 ERA and a 4-to-1 strike-to-walk ratio.

Jordan Romano has become one of the best closers in baseball and there&#39;s nothing like a good closer entrance. This is a great thing they got going in Toronto. Place is electric! <a href="https://t.co/LBxVzTJMOV">pic.twitter.com/LBxVzTJMOV</a>

Romano&#8217;s been a huge storyline for the Jays early on this year and rightfully so. He&#8217;s stepped into a ton of games and has done a great job in helping the Jays close out games. His emergence as a great closer is going to pay dividends for this team down the road.
On top of all of that, with all the improvements made at the Rogers Centre, he&#8217;s now got some of his own entrance music like he&#8217;s a WWE wrestler.
