For the second straight winter, Washington Nationals’ outfield prospect Victor Robles is ranked No. 1 on Baseball America’s list of the Nats’ Top 10 prospects.
Robles, who turned 20 in May of this past season, posted a .300/.382/.493 line, 37 doubles, eight triples, 10 home runs, and 27 steals over 114 games and 496 plate appearances at Single-A Potomac and Double-A Harrisburg.
He was called up to the majors late this season, and ended up making the Nationals’ postseason roster as well.
Baseball America’s scouts gave Robles grades of (60, Batting), (70, Speed), (60, Defense) and (60, Arm Strength) on the scouts’ 20-to-80 scale last winter, and this time around, they have him listed as the Best Hitter for Average, Fastest Baserunner, and Best Athlete among prospects in the organization.
