BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme
Track Record: The Padres first got eyes on Robinson when he was a raw high school senior with an 86-88 mph fastball and a skinny, projectable frame. They followed him closely as he moved on to Chattanooga State (Tenn.) JC and decided to draft him in the 13th round in 2021 after he touched 99 mph in the MLB draft league. Robinson was limited to just 22.2 innings at Low-A Lake Elsinore by minor injuries in 2022, but he got back on the mound in the Arizona Fall League and spent the offseason training in Atlanta.
Scouting Report: Robinson is raw as a pitcher but has a lot of intriguing traits. His fastball sits 92-96 mph with plus life and explodes out of his loose arm. His hard, mid-80s slider is developing but flashes above-average and he has flashed a promising changeup with bottom and fade, although he rarely throws it. Robinson's control is fringy and both his command and quality of his offspeed pitches are inconsistent. He should improve with more reps on the mound.
The Future: With under 30 innings on his pro resume so far, Robinson will look to build innings as a starting pitcher in the lower levels in 2023. Long-term, he profiles as a reliever with his fastball and slider combination.
