In 1938 Tobin pitched a total of 40 games, for Pittsburgh, winning 14, and losing 12, with an earned run average of 3.47.

The strong righthander won six out of eight decisions for Macon early in '67 and was brought up to Columbus. Bob manhandled the batters in the International League too, as he triumphed four out of five times. The Pirates should get some additional power from this longball hitting infielder. Bob cracked 32 home runs for Gastonia in '65 and 32 again in '66 for Asheville. He has hit better than .300 twice in four years.
