View Draft Report
Robinson was a 27th-round pick by the Padres out of Viera (Fla.) High and one of Stanford’s top recruits to get to campus, but he spent his first two seasons as a part-time player for the Cardinal and scuffled in his first season as a full-time starter in 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the season. He finally clicked this spring as a senior and hit .308 with six home runs and 36 RBIs during the regular season as Stanford’s starting right fielder. Robinson has a strong 6-foot-2, 212-pound frame and huge raw power, but he has struggled to get to it in his career. He’s tinkered with his swing a lot and found success this season after he lowered his hands and became less stiff and rotational in his swing. He posts huge exit velocities and has the promise of tapping into more raw power from the left side. Robinson is a good athlete who can play all three outfield positions. Whether he can continue improving his swing and tap into his power will determine his future outlook.

During his sophomore year in 2016, Robinson reclassified to make himself a 2017 graduate. He'll be 17-and-a-half at the time of the draft, making him one of the youngest players in the class. Robinson is a lefthanded hitter with a compact swing and above-average bat speed. He shows above-average power potential and uses the opposite field well. Robinson has above-average arm speed from the outfield but his arm strength didn't always show on the showcase circuit as he struggled to generate carry on his throws. He is an average runner and projects to land in an outfield corner. He missed much of the spring with a hamstring injury. Robinson is not expected to be a cheap sign due to his commitment to Stanford, but his athleticism, youth and power potential could intrigue a team enough to take a shot at signing him.
