Once upon a time, Victor Robles was a pretty big deal in the prospect world. He was a top-10-rated prospect in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Stardom wasn't just predicted, it was expected.
Of course, baseball is hard. Although Robles did club 17 homers in 2019, it came with an ordinary .255/.326/.419 slash line — an OPS+ of 91. That basically means Robles was nine percent worse than a league-average offensive player. The two seasons that followed were even uglier, in part because Robles couldn’t make consistent contact or get on base.
I’m curious to see if the Nationals offer Robles a lineup promotion soon. He’s been parked eighth and ninth all year, but this is not a deep roster. Producing players deserve better real estate.
