Nick Robert’s Miami arc: big-bodied righty with starter upside and strikeout bite
In the 2025 season, Nick Robert flashed real weekend-start potential for Miami, then missed the rest of the year with an elbow injury; the Hurricanes also used him as a reliever in 2024, where he logged a team-high 29 appearances, a 5-4 record, a 4.79 ERA, four saves, and 30 strikeouts in 41.1 innings. He’s a 6-foot-5, 230-pound right-hander whose best selling point is his starter’s repertoire and mound presence, and Miami’s staff openly viewed him as more naturally suited to starting than bullpen duty. If you want size, strike-throwing upside, and some nasty swing-and-miss potential, he’s intriguing; the health question is the whole ballgame.
