Victor Robles OF Washington Nationals Report from 2015 Season

1st time in a very long time that I have posted, felt like writing up my Victor Robles information public, since there are various places using my videos and guessing on how good he could or can be.

Build: 
Looks like an NFL cornerback
Might be closer to 5'11 175
Wiry strength, still can add upper body/lower body muscle for additional strength
will not get too big to move off centerfield

Hitting Ability: 
Plus bat speed due to quick wrists, small leg kick helps him catch up to any fastball thrown to him.
Swing is be a bit long at this point which may hurt his potential hit tool
Will swing at pitches early in the count, but started to work the count more as the season progressed which resulted in the rise in strikeouts
Can be fooled by a good breaking ball, but can read spin better than many 18 year olds
Ball explodes off the bat and can barrel balls to all fields
Got hit by a lot of pitches by being close to the plate
Good bunter, will bunt for hits in the future using elite speed

Summary:
Robles has the potential to become an above average hitter at the major league level as he gets more experience to shorten his swing, work the count better, using his elite speed for infield hits, additional strength for over the fence power, and hitting to all fields.

Power:
Shows loft in his swing and hit a triple off a sign 390 in left center, also hit triple opposite field off right field wall
Bat speed and quick wrists combined with elite speed will allow Robles to post strong iso slugging numbers due to Doubles/Triples
More additional strength and using leg kick may make him become an average to above average over the fence source in the majors (18-22 HR's)

Speed:
Elite, have him 4.0 Seconds on my stop watch from right side
Uses speed for granted, gambling often for extra base hits which resulted in him getting thrown out at 2nd/3rd on more than one instance
Instincts stealing bases are very raw at this point, multiple times picked off 1st
With more instruction, Robles should be able to become a better base runner, learn how to read pickoff moves better and become an annual contender for Stolen Bases and Triples Crowns

Arm: 
Plus Plus border line elite due to easy top end velocity and plus accuracy/carry to all bases
Ranks for me close to Josh Reddick in comparable viewings
Hits the cutoff man consistently

Glove: 
Plus Plus (Future Gold Glover) Can run any ball down unless hit over the fence or off the wall, runs so hard for balls his hat flies off
reads the ball great off the bat, will go out and make a sportscenter top 10 worthy catch if given the opportunity
runs crisp routs to balls for a young kid, looks like he is gliding out there

Overall Summary: 
With more instruction and experience, Robles has the potential to become an all star caliber player at the major league level. The hit tool is the lone concern as you see in person and look past the batting line, there are some potential issues that need to be worked on. That being said, I've always been a low guy on hitting ability. If he becomes a plus hitter, he is a true superstar and one of the top players in the game combining his power, speed, and spectacular outfield play. 2016 will be a test against more advance competition, cold weather, and a full season in Hagerstown.
