Victor Robles, who worked his way up from High-A Potomac to Double-A Harrisburg and eventually the majors this past season, went to the Arizona Fall League after he made the postseason roster for the Washington Nationals’ NLDS loss to the Chicago Cubs.
Robles, 20, is 10 for 41 (.244/.389/.488), with a double, three home runs, 10 walks, nine Ks, and seven stolen bases in 13 games in the so-called “finishing school” for MLB’s top prospects.
This afternoon, at 3:00 PM EST, Robles and some of the Nationals’ other top prospects lead the Mesa Solar Sox into the AFL Championship Game against the Peoria Javelinas, in a game which is being broadcast on the MLB Network, giving us an opportunity to watch some of the organization’s top young players in action against prospects from the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, and Toronto Blue Jays.
