At the age of 26, he has accomplished all three, creating memories for a lifetime. http://alabama.scout.com/2/1094442.html 2047 A.P.

In Part Two of our multi-part series, Nardi gives his early impressions of D.J. Mitchell, Brett Marshall, Nik Turley, and Jhonny Nunez, if he believes David Robertson is in the big leagues to stay, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/805673.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/805673.html Tue, 28 Oct 2008 03:31:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees When David Robertson finally received a much anticipated promotion, Yankee fans were buzzing about how his phenomenal strikeout rate would translate into the majors. For the most part, Robertson was a solid reliever, but he did experience the occasional meltdown or hiccup. Either way, he got some much-needed experience and he could end up being a valuable reliever for the Yankees next season. http://yankees.scout.com/2/788093.html 2047 Dan LaTorraca http://yankees.scout.com/2/788093.html Mon, 08 Sep 2008 03:42:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees David Robertson has been mowing down batters with his hard-breaking curveball since being drafted by the Yankees in 2006. After a brief start with the Trenton Thunder this season, he was promoted to Triple-A, and he continued to send hitters back to the bench at an alarming rate. He may soon be in line for a promotion, and based on his performance thus far, he may never see the minors again. http://yankees.scout.com/2/764279.html 2047 Dan LaTorraca http://yankees.scout.com/2/764279.html Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:05:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees It took some extreme convincing, in the form of a 0.96 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings with the Trenton Thunder, but David Robertson has indeed convinced the Yankees that he's more than "ripe" for a shot at Triple-A. http://yankees.scout.com/2/752270.html 2047 Evan Drellich http://yankees.scout.com/2/752270.html Sun, 04 May 2008 01:45:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session. In Part Two of our two-part series, Nardi talks about the development of the changeups for George Kontos and Alan Horne, how Kevin Whelan is progressing, how impressed he is with David Robertson, what Scott Patterson needs to do to get up to the big leagues, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/745494.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/745494.html Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:55:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees TAMPA, FL - It might be tough for reliever David Robertson to duplicate last season's success - his first year of professional baseball - with a similar campaign in 2008. Now going through his second Spring Training camp, however, and getting a feel back for his pitches, he looks like he hasn't missed a beat. http://yankees.scout.com/2/737769.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/737769.html Sat, 15 Mar 2008 18:31:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees PinstripesPlus.com analyzes the Yankees relief pitching prospects. Which relievers have the highest ceilings? Which ones are closest to the the big leagues? Which ones could be potential sleepers? Which ones need to make their move? http://yankees.scout.com/2/733097.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/733097.html Fri, 29 Feb 2008 04:54:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees are widely known for their collection of top-flight power pitchers. While the majority of them are starting pitchers right now, and even though a few could make the switch to the bullpen at some point, we take a look at the top ten fastballs among the current relief pitching prospects in the Yankees farm system. http://yankees.scout.com/2/729662.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/729662.html Sun, 17 Feb 2008 04:50:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The New York Yankees drafted University of Alabama closer David Robertson in the 17th round of the 2006 MLB Draft. Signing for fifth round money, he signed too late to begin his professional career then but went a combined 8-3 with a 0.96 ERA and 113 strikeouts in just 84 innings at three different levels, advancing all the way to Double-A, in his debut season in 2007. http://yankees.scout.com/2/712815.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/712815.html Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:00:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Nardi Contreras, the Yankees Minor League Pitching Coordinator, sits down with PinstripesPlus.com for a long Q&A session. In Part three of our multi-part series, Nardi tells us why Ivan Nova didn't have better numbers, how George Kontos developed his secondary pitches, what Michael Dunn has to do to move quicker, if David Robertson is for real, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/689036.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/689036.html Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:11:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees It's difficult to imagine a better professional debut season than the one David Robertson had in 2007. Going a combined 8-3 with a 0.96 ERA and piling up 113 strikeouts in just about 84 innings at three different minor league levels, he simply dominated. But as good as he was, he thinks he can be even better by improving his curveball, a pitch he didn't even throw prior to this season. http://yankees.scout.com/2/687392.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/687392.html Fri, 05 Oct 2007 12:46:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We sat down with Charleston Riverdogs Pitching Coach Carlos Reyes for a Q&A session to find out what he has seen from Ivan Nova in his first full season, what kind of progress Michael Dunn has made from the start of the season, what's going on with Grant Duff's high number of walks, if he thinks Jesse Hoover is close to returning to his old form, and more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/666492.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/666492.html Thu, 09 Aug 2007 12:33:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We sat down with Yankees Pitching Coordinator Nardi Contreras to get his thoughts on what Joba Chamberlain moving to the bullpen does for his development, if he knows what happened to David Robertson's velocity, if he's worried about Ivan Nova's lack of strikeouts, what has been the difference in Alan Horne this year, what happened to Angel Reyes, and much, much more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/662871.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/662871.html Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:49:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 180 pounds, reliever David Robertson is far from an intimidating presence on the mound. With a fastball that sits in the high 80’s, he has lost the ability to overpower hitters that he once had. But this year Robertson has become a complete pitcher, relying on location to get hitters out. http://yankees.scout.com/2/661825.html 2047 Mike Jones http://yankees.scout.com/2/661825.html Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:39:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees
