Tigers Prospect Profile #49: James Robbins
In his first year of full-season baseball, James Robbins put his power on
display despite playing in the unfriendly confines of Fifth Third Ballpark
for West Michigan. But is there more to Robbins' game besides the power?
第一個完整球季,Robbins在投手天堂打者苦手的環境示範他的炮瓦,但除此之外呢??

Position:First Baseman
Height: 6-0
Weight: 225
Born: 9/20/1990
Bats: Left
Throws: Left
Background
Prior to the 2009 draft most scouts considered Robbins all but locked into his
scholarship to be a two-way player as a pitcher/first baseman at
Washington State. The Tigers did their homework and popped Robbins in the 30th
round, inking him to a $235,000 bonus during the summer.
09選秀前,大家都以為他鐵定到大學報到了,老虎在第30輪選他最後用23萬5千overslot
的簽約金讓他像職業屈服,並且在一壘手跟投手之間,選擇專心打擊
Robbins debuted with a bang in the GCL that summer, hitting .361/.410/.583 with
two home runs in just nine games.
在9場短暫的處女秀,Robbins連兩場開轟來做自我介紹,最後的成績三圍.361/.410/.581
,看來很不錯喔!
The Tigers sent him to short-season Connecticut in 2010 and the 19-year old
slugger struggled to make contact against the more advanced pitchers of the
NYPL. He finished the summer with a .251 average and only 12 walks against 91
strikeouts in 69 games.
隔年在短期1A出發,更高階的投手讓他碰到一點麻煩,打擊率只有.251,更大的問題是他
的三振保送比SO91:BB12 in 68G,讓我們目睹一個盲砲就此誕生
In 2011 Robbins got his first taste of full-season ball with an Opening Day
assignment to West Michigan in the Midwest League. He played 129 games for the
Whitecaps and managed to slug 16 home runs and 26 doubles among his 123 hits.
He again hit .251 for the season, and for the second year in a row he posted
an OBP below .300, with few walks and a ton of strikeouts.
去年在1A的完整球季Robbin算是過關了,123隻安打中有16轟+26支二壘打,打擊率不簡單
~跟前一年一模一樣.251,上壘率還是不及格的低於3成,少少的保送跟數不清的三振
Scouting Report
There is plenty of raw power in Robbins' game but the rest of his tools leave
scouts wondering if that power will ever come through in higher level games.
His batting practice displays are outstanding as he blasts balls out to all
parts of the park. He sells out for power and his swing can get too much of an
upper-cut to it at times.
Robbins不管在打擊練習還是比賽中都將他的POWER展露無疑,但有會太想把球往天上打而
加大揮棒軌跡,缺乏長打以外的特殊才能讓人懷疑他是否能在更高階的比賽把球轟出球場
Robbins offensive approach is highly aggressive and he lacks the bat control
ability to adjust to off-speed pitches and non-strikes. He has far too much
swing-and-miss in his game and little in his hitting mechanics to suggest he
will develop into a better pure hitter. As he faces more mature pitching it is
likely his average will dip into the .230-.240 range and his strikeouts will
continue to remain very high.
Robbins在打擊上過分積極,對於球速的變化跟壞球都沒轍 (通通揮就對啦!),揮空實在
太多了,而從打擊機制來看,這些症狀可能是不治之症…
未來打擊率大概就在.230-.240間徘徊,配上許多的三振
Defensively Robbins doesn't move that well at first base but he has made some
strides since signing. He has a poor body that doesn't help his mobility at all
and his understanding of positioning and what his responsibilities are still
rough. He has an above-average to plus arm that is hidden at first base.
防守上,雖然Robbins轉職業以後已經有把身材練得更苗條緊實,還是有嬰兒肥的傾向,
即使在一壘防區,他的移位還是慢得很,有當過投手的火球肩,但在一壘派不上用場。
Robbins is a well below-average runner and without plus instincts he borders
on being a base clogger when he does reach base.
腳程不是慢,是"非常慢",後面的跑者可能必須放慢腳步來配合他XD (好狠)
Though his power potential is tantalizing, the flaws in the rest of Robbins
game are alarming and cause for substantial concern. If he improves his body
that may allow him to develop some defensive value at first base but his bat
will always carry the burden of his prospect status.
雖然大砲管很吸引人,其他才能卻顯得乏善可陳,他還得多進健身房多到操場跑步讓
自己的身材好看一點,跑得快跳的高才可以好好防守。
不管怎樣,砲管將是幫他清掃道路上小石頭的最佳武器
Without a massive step forward in his approach and ability to make contact,
Robbins will likely flame out as a mid-minors power hitter, but that raw power
alone is enough to keep him on the back of a list like this.
除非哪天學會選球還有能力跟球做更多的親密接觸,Robbins目前看來只能在中階等級
打滾,能搭上這次名單靠的就是power

Health Record
Robbins' body is a concern for scouts but he has yet to suffer any significant
injuries as a professional.
球探擔心Robbins的胖胖身材總有一天會碰到麻煩,目前還頭好壯壯
The Future
Robbins will be among the candidates for the first base job in Lakeland to
start next year, but he might have a tough time earning that slot with third
round pick Aaron Westlake, NYPL masher Dean Green, and the incumbents
Jordan Lennerton and Tony Plagman all vying for the same job.
At 21-years old in 2012, another year in the Midwest League would not put
Robbins behind the developmental curve but he would need to rake there to
maintain his prospect status while repeating the league.
接下來的新球季,Robbins是A+的眾多先發一壘手人選之一
Aaron Westlake:11梯3輪,目前一壘手第一號porpect
Dean Green:短期A打擊之王
跟兩個老人Jordan Lennerton & Tony Plagman
可以預期將會經歷一番苦戰,而就算回到1A對Robbins不全是壞消息,重點是他得持續
進步,才能確保prospect的地位
For Robbins to become a viable big league prospect he will have to hit his way
onto the prospect landscape, something that could be a tall order given his
swing-and-miss tendencies and aggressive approach.
最後,如果他無法改變當大型電風扇的習慣,要從這份名單往上爬是有困難的喔~
年輕人!
