HITTERS

Jonathan (Will) Robertson, 2019, L/L, OF (Creighton)

He didn’t quite match those numbers this summer in the Cape, but he’s still a promising bat to keep an eye on for 2019. Listed at 6’2, 210 pounds with a physically strong frame. Developed proportionally in upper and lower body. Grades out as a slightly below average runner but plays with a high motor at all times.
