18. Tyler Robertson
Starting Pitcher
Throws: Left
Age: 21
ETA: 2012
Potential: #2/3 starter
2010 outlook: New Britain rotation
The Twins picked Robertson out of high school in the 3rd round of the 2006 draft. In 2007, Tyler Robertson had a 2.29 ERA in 102 innings with a 10.8 strikeout per 9 innings ratio. In 2008, he had a 2.72 ERA in 82 innings with a 7.9 K/9 ratio. And he followed that up this year at class A Fort Myers with a 3.33 ERA in 143 innings and a 6.5 K/9 ratio, with lefties hitting just .197 off of him. He’s one of the few high quality lefty starters in the system. Left handed starting pitching is probably the weakest area in the Twins system as of right now. His control could be improved on and his strikeout ratio is dropping a little too fast as he advances through the system, but there is still a lot of promise in Robertson.
