Tom Robson is a Freak

[froston]

You probably know Tom Robson because he’s that Canadian guy that the Blue Jays drafted in the 4th round back in 2011. Coming into 2013, he wasn’t sexy enough to make any notable top 10/20 prospect lists for Toronto (John Sickels didn’t even give him an honourable mention on his top 20), but he’s having a really solid season this year. Split between Bluefield (rookie level) and Vancouver (A-), Robson has a 1.23 ERA, 6.8 K/9, and 2.93 K/BB in 58.1 IP.

 

You don’t typically see an ERA that low when a pitcher has fairly average K and BB rates like that. So Robson’s just getting a bit lucky with the earned runs, right? Well, maybe not.

 

You see, Tom Robson is a freak.

This OP is a weirdo - who does this honestly?

There is no plagiarism here NJH has confirmed that he knows the original poster

So Hurl... Is the pitcher in question legit or not?

I like GB machines but can't say I've ever seen him pitch since one outing with the Junior National team. I like the data the OP posted though. Hopefully he's with Lansing next year so I can see him pitch. It's not like he doesn't have okay velocity to go with those numbers. He's certainly interesting.

Not stolen - was discussed.

 

Guy is probably worth a follow if he keeps the blog up to date. Not stupid.

Org guy. Nothing to see here.

Thanks for reading. I just finished my second post and submitted the thread here (moderator needs to approve it though). It takes inspiration from your "Reverse Standings Thread", and addresses the TankNation mentality.
