Top Rankings

Robinson entered his junior year at Mississippi with top three-round expectations, but hit just .270 and dropped to the sixth round. Robinson rebounded to reach Double-A in his first full season in 2017 and earned wide praise as the best defensive infielder in the Dodgers system. Robinson possesses special hands at shortstop that vacuum up even the toughest hops and make every play look smooth. He converts all the routine plays and then some, even though his range isn't exceptional. He slides over to second base effortlessly when needed, and evaluators believe he could play center field and third base, too. Robinson is an above-average runner with a grinder mentality that helps him excel anywhere on the field defensively. Offensively, Robinson is an aggressive sparkplug who brings energy and swagger to the top of an order, but power isn't his game and he is an average hitter at best. Robinson lacks a carrying tool but has the aptitude to rise as a utility infielder. Triple-A awaits in 2018.
