The state's top freshman prospect showed extremely well in all facets of the All-State showcase. Robinson holds highest-level upside with a projectable, athletic, 6-foot-3, 185 pound frame. Robinson showed silky smooth actions in the infield, dancing around with quick, controlled feet, and fires the ball across with advanced arm strength to pair (87 across : '27 event-best). Robinson has the actions and athleticism (6.97 runner) to stick at short in the long-run. The long-levered, right-handed hitter holds power potential within a smooth, upward stroke, and he flashes bat strength (93.1 peak EV). The frame still has room to pack on strength, and there is five tool upside to dream on. The movement patterns are fluid and athletic, and Robinson also hopped on the bump to show a low-to-mid 80s fastball with casual intent.
Robinson impressed with a patient approach for White Sox Ace. Got on base all three times at the plate, all by walks. Was silky smooth at third as well.
A 2022 Junior Future Games alum, Robinson shined on Thursday morning for the Chicago White Sox Ace. Batting out of the two-hole from the right side, Robinson catches your eye with his athletic build and long levers. He collected two hits, an RBI, a stolen base and used the whole field at the plate. In the field at the hot corner, Robinson displayed smooth actions and range to pair. A player to follow the rest of the weekend.
