Tobi will be promoted to the Mets tomorrow after the Bisons completed there season today by losing there season finale 3-0. He is a 24-year old right handed pitcher from Germany who has three solid pitches in a fastball in the 88-90 range, a curve ball around 76 with good bite and a changeup.
He has gone 9-9 with a 3.55 era in 23 starts with 2 complete games and 92k's, 47 walks, 120 hits, and 14 hr allowed in 144 innings. Those numbers are combined AA and AAA and he has pitched a little better lately with a 3.41 era in his last 10 starts in AAA. He also is 5-25 lifetime as a hitter.
I'm glad to see him get a call up, obviously he is not a big prospect but its nice to see the Mets give people within the organization a chance instead of 35 year old washed up pitchers. Good luck Tobi and maybe this can be an audition for next year.
