1st Round, 12th Overall: 2B Andy Robinson
School: Fredericksburg Chargers
1949: .517/.569/.888, 103 PA, 16 2B, 4 3B, 3 HR, 28 RBI, 27 SB
Career: .521/.568/.812, 365 PA, 49 2B, 12 3B, 6 HR, 102 RBI, 65 SB

With Elmer Sullivan going two picks before we were up, I had to quickly pivot, doing something I had no intentions of doing. Selecting a high school second basemen. For the second season in a row!

Andy Robinson is quite different then Biff Tiner, who ranks 4th in our system and 39th overall, as the Richmond native has experience at short and left as well, positions he will play if he's teammates with Biff. Set to be a 4-year starter at Fredericksburg, Robinson broke out as a sophomore, when he hit .541/.589/.771 in his second of three .500 seasons. This is all while being extremely young for a high schooler, and he won't turn 18 until November. That's perfect for a team like us who has very few short term needs, as we can let Robinson do what he does best. Play baseball!

A potential elite second basemen, Robinson is a very gifted hitter, who has the hit tool to bat well above .300 in the majors. He's shown flashes of that already, hitting .521/.568/.812 in 72 high school games. When you add the speed you start thinking bating titles, especially because he hits the ball on the ground and is always looking to steal first with a smooth drag bunt. Once he's on base, he continues to impact the game, as he's a great base runner and stealer. If all breaks right, he's going to be an excellent leadoff hitter, and it won't matter if he's at second or left or even somewhere else. He's the type of guy you find a spot for, and he could end up a real difference maker for a FABL contender. Both Dixie and OSA are huge fans of Robinson, and I'd be very surprised if he doesn't join the top 100 prospect list once signed.
