Career
Minnesota Twins
The, left-hander was the Twins' third-round pick in the 2006 [Major League Baseball draft].In the first half of the season, Tyler went 4–2 with a 2.76 earned run average and 58 strike outs over 11 starts to help Fort Myers capture the Florida State League first-half West Division title. One of those wins was a complete game 6–1 victory over the Tampa Yankees at Steinbrenner Field.
He was pulled after four innings against the Vero Beach Devil Rays on July 7 with shoulder soreness, and did not pitch again for the rest of the season.
On November 18, 2011, the Twins added Robertson to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He made his major league debut on June 26, 2012, where Robertson struck out the first three batters he faced.
Robertson mainly throws three pitches — a four-seam fastball and two-seam fastball hovering around 90 mph, as well as a slider in the low-to-mid 80s. The slider is actually his most commonly thrown pitch against left-handed hitters, especially when he is ahead in the count. Robertson has also thrown a small handful of curveballs and changeups.
