Victor Robles is exactly the type of player who might need no introduction, but demands to be talked about in spite of, or perhaps because of that. A former top ten MLB prospect from the Nationals once ranked ahead of Juan Soto, who lost enough shine with that team that he was designated for assignment on June 1st of last year, going unclaimed. After having been impressed with Seattle’s vibes when they met up with his now former team, three days after Washington released him, Robles was a Mariner.
It didn’t take long for Victor to make an impression, with aggressive and energetic play, but also by providing a legitimate leadoff option with his bat production.
