Victor Robles

Everyone expected Washington's hot-shot outfielder prospect to break out in 2018. Only it was Juan Soto instead of Victor Robles, who suffered an elbow injury in spring training. The higher-rated of the two rising stars last year, he's poised to join the Nationals' starting lineup if they don't bring back Bryce Harper. If given the chance, he has shown the ability to hit for contact with solid power and intriguing speed. Lorenzo Cain's name is frequently mentioned as a comparison, and the rookie's Steamer projections (.274/.335/.417, 12 HRs, 27 SBs) aren't all that far off from the Milwaukee outfielder. Robles could quickly rise into the top 100 if Harper signs elsewhere.

Fantasy Impact

Victor Robles hasn't exactly set the world on fire since getting called up on September 4, batting .208/286/.333 in that span. His .190 BABIP suggests he's just getting unlucky though, and it will also probably take the 21-year-old some time to adjust to MLB pitching on top of that. Don't think of this as a sign of things to come with Robles.
