Tyler Robertson (born December 23,1987) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins.
The 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m),220 pounds (100 kg) left-hander was the Twins' third-round pick in the 2006 Major League Baseball draft. He made his major league debut on June 26,2012,where Robertson struck out the first three batters he faced. [1]
In the first half of the 2008 season,Tyler went 4–2 with a 2.76 earned run average and 58 strike outs over 11 starts to help Fort Myers capture the Florida State League first-half West Division title. One of those wins was a complete game 6–1 victory over the Tampa Yankees at Steinbrenner Field.
He was pulled after four innings against the Vero Beach Devil Rays on July 7[ year missing ] with shoulder soreness,and did not pitch again for the rest of the season.
Robertson mainly throws three pitches —a four-seam fastball and two-seam fastball hovering around 90 mph,as well as a slider in the low-to-mid 80s. The slider is actually his most commonly thrown pitch against left-handed hitters,especially when he is ahead in the count. Robertson has also thrown a small handful of curveballs and changeups. [2]
The Washington Nationals claimed Robertson off waivers on June 7,2013. He was designated for assignment on November 20,2013.
In baseball,a cut fastball or cutter is a type of fastball that breaks toward the pitcher's glove-hand side,as it reaches home plate. This pitch is somewhere between a slider and a four-seam fastball,as it is usually thrown faster than a slider but with more movement than a typical fastball. Some pitchers use a cutter to prevent hitters from expecting their regular fastballs. A common technique for throwing a cutter is to use a four-seam fastball grip with the baseball set slightly off center in the hand. A batter hitting a cutter pitch often achieves only soft contact and an easy out due to the pitch's movement keeping the ball away from the bat's sweet spot. The cutter is typically 2–5 mph slower than a pitcher's four-seam fastball. In 2010,the average pitch classified as a cutter by PITCHf/x thrown by a right-handed pitcher was 88.6 mph;the average two-seamer was 90.97 mph.
