scouting report

6-foot-1, 180-pounds, athletic frame, right-handed hitter hits from an open stance, mid-length stride, maintains good balance, some length in swing, generates bat speed, 88 mph exit velocity, good round of BP with line drives to the gaps and occasional pull side power, good speed with 4.38 home to first time, went 2-for-4 in game play with an RBI. Soft hands with good lateral movement, shorter high-3/4 release, good arm strength at 82 mph across the infield with carry.

Robbins won the PBR Kentucky Player of the Week award in April 2014 when he went on a tear to finish the week 9-for-10 with four doubles, a home run, 10 RBI, four runs scored, and three stolen bases. He is a three-sport athlete who should see his game rise to another level while concentrating on baseball full time at the next level.
