The CBB continues our countdown to the start of the 2011 College Baseball season by checking in on the Top 100 Players in the country. We will be providing one player per day until we reach number 1.
We continue the countdown today at number 79 with Fresno State’s Dusty Robinson. He is a 5’11 190 pound outfielder from Bakersfield California and attended Centennial High School where he was a three-time letterwinner. As a senior, he was named the SWYL MVP after hitting 16 homers and also was named All-League and All-Area.
Dusty decided to continue his baseball career at Fresno State. As a freshman in 2009, he appeared in 60 games (52 starts) as he hit .319 with 12 doubles, a triple, 52 runs scored and 45 RBIs. He was named a First-Team All-WAC selection. He was also named a Freshman All-American by Baseball America, NCBWA, and Louisville Slugger. As a sophomore, he had another solid season also as he hit .308 with 16 homers and 60 RBI.
He spent the summer of 2010 in the Cape Cod Baseball League with the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox where he struggled hitting .195 with 11 RBI in 34 games. Frankie Pilere of Fanhouse.com named him the 84th best prospect for the 2011 MLB Draft. (LINK)
