Christian Robinson

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.
