Robert Reid Redman (born November 22, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Kansas City Royals' organization.
Redman attended Midland Christian High School and Midland College. He transferred to Baylor University for his sophomore year, but decided that the school was not a good fit for him. He transferred to Texas Tech University to play college baseball for the Texas Tech Red Raiders baseball team, but had to sit out the 2010 season due to his transferring. In 2011, Redman became the starting third baseman and led the Red Raiders with a .320 batting average.
The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Redman in the 37th round of the 2011 MLB draft, but he did not sign, choosing to return to Texas Tech for his senior year. He missed time during the 2012 season, his senior year, with a broken metatarsus bone in his left foot.
The Tampa Bay Rays selected Redman in the 23rd round of the 2012 MLB draft. Redman signed with the Rays, and played for the Princeton Rays of the Rookie-level Appalachian League. He hit .265 in 60 games. Redman struggled in spring training in 2013, and the Rays released Redman on May 5, 2013. He tried out with the Miami Marlins, who signed him as a pitcher. The Marlins assigned him to the Batavia Muckdogs of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League. In 2014, Redman pitched for the Jupiter Hammerheads of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League and the Jacksonville Suns of the Class AA Southern League. On November 28, 2014, the Marlins traded Redman and Brian Flynn to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Aaron Crow.
