8/4/18 - Robertson, a lean and loose righty worked his fastball consistently at 82-83 mph, spotting it up for a strike with arm side run. He worked a sharp and late breaking ball at 68-71 mph, a pitch with swing and miss potential down the road. Robertson also kept hitters off balance with a knuckleball at 69-70 mph. He threw all pitches for a strike and looks to add more velo down the road to his tall and long frame. He has command of three pitches with loose arm action that will only get better over time.
