View Draft Report
An undersized righthander with a quick arm, Robinson lacks upside but makes up for it with quality stuff, good athleticism and a clean arm action. His fastball sits at 90-92 mph and touches 93, and some scouts say they saw him bump 94 early in the year, though his fastball lacks downhill plane. A two-way player who has started and relieved at Cerritos, Robinson has shown three fringy offspeed pitches, but he'll likely be a two-pitch bullpen guy in pro ball. Some scouts prefer his slider, which has a chance to be average, while others like the shape and depth on his curveball, which he just needs to throw for strikes more consistently. Robinson is committed to Long Beach State but considered signable in the seventh- to 10th-round range.
