Back in 2018, players such as Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuna Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Fernando Tatis Jr. were consistently seen as top 10 prospects lists, if not top 5. Washington Nationals prospect Victor Robles was often seen alongside them. While those players became stars, Robles' never quite reached his full potential. So, what happened?

So far as a mariner, in 22 games/ 38 PAs, his slash line is 355/444/581. 1.025 OPS, which is the best on the team ATM. (okay, miniscule sample size I know, but it'd be hilarious if Seattle of all places is where he puts it all together, and as a fan he's been a welcome sight considering how cold the rest of our bats are)

@S_Over_Street 2 месяца назад

@zenvost2 2 месяца назад

@@SportStorm23 this current mariners era has developed a "fittingly weird" trend of bringing in power bats that decline here (Jesse Winker, teoscar Hernandez, all 3 2B we've traded for since 2021), while somehow fixing up struggling guys out of nowhere (Eugenio Suarez, Josh Rojas, and maybe now this guy).

He's hitting .450 over his past five games at the start of August..... He's batting .367 with the Mariners so far this year, on about 80 at bats with 3 HRs and 10 sbs This may be a classic case of the need for scenery change

Man, I remember playing MLB The show 20 and I was a picther and signed a free agent contract with the Orioles and they had signed Victor Robles me and that dude finished our careers on that team and I have been a fan of his ever since. It's been a shame to see him not live up to the hype

@jbryant5253 2 месяца назад

@S_Over_Street 2 месяца назад

Since being picked up in June by Seattle, he’s contributed in several games here & there. As a backup OF he add some depth but recently he should get more playing time than Mitch Haniger who’s been disappointing. Don’t expect to have a high ceiling from what he was projected to be but he’s doing fine (for now) with the M’s.

Its kind of embarrassing that i was more comfortable in a fire fight than i ever was standing in a batter box. Not that i was comfortable doing either. Granted, i was deployed after i was 18 and played baseball before 18. I was terrified of getting hit with the ball. I played every other sport just fine. I don't know how you people do it.😂

@richardcranium5801 2 месяца назад

When I was in little league, our coach showed up to practice one day with a bucket of tennis balls and we practiced getting hit by the ball while batting. It helped enormously!

@michaelbaucom4019 2 месяца назад

2019 was the juiced ball era and I think Robles may have unfortunately attributed that to him being someone who can hit dingers regularly. TBF I think a lot of players may not have known 2019 was juiceball era until after the fact.

I don't really think injuries are an excuse. So many snakebitten players are still productive with the bat, as he was in the minors. We'll see if we regret it, but as a Nats fan I'm glad he's gone. Michael A Taylor *always* was and still is a better version of him. I don't agree that we needed him to win in 2019.
