View Draft Report

Roberts is a 6-foot, 219-pound righty who has worked as both a starter and reliever over his three years at Sacramento State. He has an above-average fastball that’s been up to 94 mph this spring and pairs that with a plus slider giving him two solid pitches to work with. Roberts’ usage has been inconsistent this spring, as he’s bounced back and forth between starting and relieving throughout the season, but scouts think his stuff plays up in the bullen, with sink on his fastball and bite to his slider. While he’s undersized, Roberts has the stuff and enough strike throwing to handle a reliever role at the next level.
