Robertson

5/21/13 - Ranked No. 28 in Illinois’ 2015 class, played extremely well, going 4-for-5 with a run-scoring double. Perhaps most impressively, the 5-foot-11 left-handed hitter ran a remarkable 3.61 H-1B on a bunt. For the record, I’d be sheepish about publishing that time, but the stopwatch next to me had the same exact reading. 

Robertson is another top-level two-way prospect from Simeon, following in the footsteps of Shane Brown (2012), Corey Ray (2013) and Darius Day (2014). Robertson showed well in all facets of the game, but he really impressed on the mound. The athletically built 5-foot-11, 165-pound left-hander commanded three pitches for strikes, including a fastball that topped at 79 mph. Coming from a high 3/4 slot, Robertson showed advanced mechanics and mound presence, in addition to impressive hand acceleration. His 63-66 mph curveball is an advanced pitch, as it exhibited sharp, late break down in the zone. Robertson continued to impress as a position player, as he moved with fluidity and purpose while throwing strikes from the outfield (80 mph). Offensively, Robertson showcased an easy, mechanically advanced left-handed swing. He maintains excellent balance and rhythm throughout, and is extremely quick and compact to the baseball. Overall, Robertson is one of the best Class of 2015 prospects we’ve seen so far.

1/22/12 The 5-foot-11, 165-pound Robertson impressed in all aspects of the game, and looks to be a legitimate two-way prospect.  On the mound, Robertson works from a high 3/4 arm slot with an easy delivery.  His arm works freely, and showed good acceleration. He throws three pitches: a 78 mph fastball with sink, a sharp breaking 65-67 mph curveball, and a 67-70 mph changeup with sink and fade.  Defensively, Robertson impressed in the outfield, moving fluidly and taking aggressive routes to the ball.  He showed an accurate arm and was clocked at 82 mph.  At the plate, the left-handed hitting Robertson has a balanced setup and swagger at the plate.  He exhibited an easy swing with bat speed as he sprayed line drives to all fields. Robertson also ran a 7.34 60.
