So far, Victor Robles has only appeared in 34 games for the Washington Nationals over the past two seasons, hitting .277 in just 83 at-bats. With Juan Soto’s electrifying rookie campaign last season combining with GM Mike Rizzo’s refusal to include Robles in any blockbuster trade for JT Realmuto, expectations for the young center fielder are at an astronomical height. At the very least, he should be an improvement on Michael A. Taylor in the lineup.
The Dominican phenom features blazing speed and outstanding defensive ability. Having watched every one of Robles’ Major League plate appearances, it’s safe to say that he has a short swing that can drive the ball to all fields.
