Former Alabama Pitcher David Robertson Makes Team USA Olympic Qualifying Roster

Robertson is currently a free agent and last previously pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2019

The University of Alabama will be represented on Team USA's Olympic qualifying roster this summer. 

Former Crimson Tide standout, right-hander pitcher David Robertson made the team and will help the United States compete for the Tokyo Games in late July. 

Robertson, who last pitched in the majors in 2019 with the Philadelphia Phillies, has a career ERA of 2.90 and a record of 53-33 to go along with 880 strikeouts. He is currently a free agent and has fully recovered from an elbow injury that cost him nearly the entirety of the 2019 campaign and all of 2020.

Team USA's first game in the qualifying round will be May 31 against Nicaragua. 

Other former big leaguers on the roster include Homer Bailey, Edwin Jackson, Matt Kemp, Todd Frazier, Jon Jay and Matt Wieters.
