The Dodgers 2019 draft was perhaps an unusual one in that they targeted college relief pitchers. I don’t think the plan is to transform them into starters but more so to continue their present path. Relief pitching is the fastest way to MLB unless one is a budding superstar and relief pitchers most certainly are in demand. Why not develop your own and in due course have a stable of young relievers under team control?
I am really anxious for minor league rosters to be released and especially eager to watch the Loons relief corps this year. A number of 2019 draftees have had a good start to their professional careers. I have profiled several of them and today Nick Robertson who already is a three-year veteran coming out of the bullpen gets the call.
Robertson was selected by the Dodgers in the seventh round of 2019 First-Year Player Draft out of James Madison University In Harrisonburg, Virginia.
