View Draft Report
A two-way player, Robbins is a legitimate prospect both as a pitcher and hitter, and he could be an impact utility player for Mississippi State if he gets to campus. His power is his carrying tool as a position player, and he's shown more this spring as he continues to get stronger. He has some bat speed and strength at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, though his swing could stand to add some loft. He's a first baseman with good hands and reactions around the bag whose power must come to the fore if he hits. On the mound, he's bumped the low-90s but usually sits in the 87-89 mph range. His lack of speed could help get him to school, as he lacks the versatility to move to the outfield.
