Davey Martinez talked often last season about Victor Robles’s struggles at the plate and out in center field, after a noticeably bigger version of the 23-year-old outfielder showed up for Spring Training 2.0 late (through no fault of his own after coming into contact with someone who’d tested positive for COVID-19), and didn’t quite look like the player he was coming up in the minors or over his first three seasons in D.C.
Robles finished 2020’s 60-game COVID campaign with a .220/.293/.315 line, five doubles, and three home runs in 52 games and 189 plate appearances, over which he was worth -0.
