Senior Year (2012)
Robbie enters his senior year as the most reliable pitcher out of the bullpen and the staff is looking for him to continue to throw strikes. His ability to pound strikes and command other pitches besides his fastball has made him one of the first choices out of the pen.  He will also compete for time in the outfield and has a solid stick from the left side of the dish.

Junior Year (2011)
Robbie has become a reliable arm on the mound. Robbie’s bat and glove will be a plus in the lineup on top of his pitching ability. Look for Robbie to be a consistent contributor throughout the season.

Sophomore Year (2010)
During this season, the coaching staff will be looking for Robbie to make a big impact on the mound. Robbie's focus has improved immensely, as well as his commitment to becoming the best ballplayer he can be. Robbie will log significant innings for the Panthers this year and could work his way into the starting rotation.

Freshman Year (2009)
Robbie earned the nickname “Slash” in the fall for his uncanny ability to slash line drives to all fields. There is no doubt that Robbie can hit, as he has some of the best hand-eye coordination

When did you start playing this sport and why?
I started playing at age four, mostly because of my parents. But after one year they knew I was in love.

What do you love most about playing this sport?
The mental aspect is the game.  There’s so much to it.  Everyone thinks it’s easy.  It’s not.  They say hitting a baseball is one of the hardest things in the world.
