A native of Tampa, Robinson became just the fifth consensus first team All-American in FSU baseball history and posted a school record 40-game hitting streak during the 2005 season, which was also the ninth longest ever in Division I history.
Robinson also became the first player in FSU history to record 100 hits and steal 40 bases in the same season in 2005. He led the nation in hits (122) and runs scored (96) and the outfielder finished the season ranked in the top five nationally for hits (122), runs (96), on-base percentage (.532), doubles (25), steals (49), steal attempts (56), games played (73) and games started (73).
Robinson was an immediate standout for the Seminoles starting all 68 games in center field as a freshman in 2004 and culminating his rookie season by being named ACC Tournament MVP after going 11-for-26 at the plate.
Leaving for the draft after his sophomore season, Robinson was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 5th round (166th pick) and reached the major leagues in May of 2009 with the Cardinals. He currently plays for the L. A. Angels.
