    An extreme performer with Tennessee Tech, Roberts posted a 2.25 ERA this spring in 60 innings as a reliever, with 85 strikeouts and 18 walks. He’s been pretty consistent throughout his career in the Ohio Valley Conference, with a 2.99 career ERA, 13.04 K/9 and 1.81 BB/9. His best pitch is a heavy cutting fastball in the 90-93 mph range and his secondaries are solid, but nothing above-average. His strike throwing ability allows everything to play up.
