Sidney Dean Roberson (born September 7, 1971) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Milwaukee Brewers during their 1995 season. Listed at 5' 9", 170 lb., Roberson batted and threw left-handed. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida.[1]
The Brewers selected Roberson in the 29th round of the 1992 MLB draft out of the University of North Florida in Jacksonvile FL,[1] where he pitched for the UNF Ospreys. He finished his college career with a 36-6 mark and still holds the career record for the most strikeouts (360) and complete games (24) at UNF.[2] Besides, he was a two-time NAIA All-America pitcher at UNF and majored in accounting in college, getting his degree in 1994 with a 3.91 GPA and highest academic honors.[2]
Roberson posted a 12-8 record with a 2.60 earned run average for Class A Stockton Ports in 1993,[3] earning Pitcher of the Year honors in the California League.[2] In 1994, he went 15-8 with a 2.83 at Double A El Paso Diablos, being promoted to Triple A New Orleans Zephyrs in 1995, where he appeared in two games before joining the Brewers in the month of May.[3]
Roberson was 6-4 with a 5.76 ERA for Milwaukee in 26 games (13 starts), striking out 40 batters while walking 37 in 84⅓ innings of work.[1] But arm problems surfaced which forced him to retire after two rotator cuff surgeries.[2]
Following his baseball career, Roberson became a financial adviser and later a manager with Morgan Stanley, where he worked for nearly a decade. He later joined UBS Financial Services as deputy branch manager of its Jacksonville complex.[2]
