OUTLOOK:

The highly-projectable Robinson has potential to be a two-way prospect at the next level. Robinson was instrumental in helping Champaign Central to a 4th place finish in Class 3A last spring. Robinson manned right field when he wasn't toeing the rubber for the Maroons. On the mound last spring he went 11-3 with a 2.11 ERA. In 72 innings pitched he struck out 74 and walked 28. At the plate he hit .322 with seven doubles, two triples and three home runs.
