View Draft Report
Roberts is a highly projectable 6-foot-6, 190-pound lefthander. His fastball works in the upper 80s right now--occasionally scraping 90 mph--and he throws tons of strikes. Roberts has the makings of a useable breaking ball and changeup. He's a long-term projection play, but could be very good if he's able to fill in his frame and get stronger.
