The Book on Tyler Robertson

Prospect Info

Tyler Robertson
Born 12/23/1987
LHP, MIN

A ground ball pitcher who seems to handle lefties just as well as right-handed batters, Robertson is just one of another out-machine to come from the Twins pitching factory. While some bemoan his awkward delivery, nobody minded the way he used his 92mph fastball, nasty curve and excellent slider to finish second in league ERA for the low-A Beloit Snappers in 2007. Since then, he's continued to refine and polish his pitches while solidifying his workhorse reputation. The combination of his strong K-BB ratio, nasty repertoire and odd delivery have gained him a few 'left-handed Lincecum' comparisons, but nobody will mistake his 6-5 frame for the diminutive Giant. After holding his own through a 26 start, 8-8 season at Ft. Myers last year (1.33 WHIP, 3.33 ERA), he's looking for the next challenge. He's a couple of years away from threatening for big league time, but as he's not getting any younger, a bullpen might be calling rather than a rotation by the time he arrives.
