Fred Roberts
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He tends to work slowly when in a jam, which just makes his problems worse by lulling his fielders to sleep. If you're going in to face Roberts, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Roberts, and that's saying a lot. Roberts has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Roberts is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Roberts has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook What The Free Agents was thinking when they signed Roberts to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Roberts.
