Shane Robinson (baseball)
Shane Michael Robinson (born October 30, 1984) is an American former professional baseball outfielder and current first base coach for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played in MLB for the St. Louis Cardinals, Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels, and New York Yankees between 2009 and 2018.
Robinson graduated from Jesuit High School in Tampa, Florida. He lettered in baseball and football there, and was All-State in both sports in his junior and senior seasons.
Robinson then enrolled at Florida State University. Robinson started all 68 games for the Florida State Seminoles in center field as a freshman, while batting .280. After the 2004 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Hyannis Mets of the Cape Cod Baseball League and was named a league all-star. As a sophomore, he led the team with a .427 batting average, 96 runs (leading the NCAA), 122 hits, 25 doubles, .605 slugging %, .532 on base % and 49 stolen bases. He also set a school record by having a 40-game hitting streak, the 11th-longest in NCAA history. His breakout effort earned him the 2005 Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Year, the first Seminole to win the award since J. D. Drew in 1997. He was also named SEBaseball.com's ACC Player of the Year and was a candidate for every National Player of the Year honor. His numbers declined as a junior but he still put together a solid season, leading the Seminoles with a .361 average, 97 hits, 79 runs, and 32 stolen bases.
Robinson was drafted by the Cardinals in the fifth round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft out of Florida State University. He compiled a 21-game hitting streak from July 2–26, batting .372 (32-for-86) with a triple, three doubles, nine RBI, and 17 runs scored. He hit .286 and scored 36 runs in 48 games out of the leadoff spot.
In 2007, he began the season with High–A Palm Beach County in the Florida State League, and stole a career-high 14 bases and hit .364 (8-for-22) with a home run and six runs scored during a six-game hitting streak from April 10–15. Robinson batted .294 (15-for-51) with a .379 on-base percentage in 14 games in May before heading to the disabled list with a broken foot. On August 20 he began a rehab assignment with the Gulf Coast League Cardinals.
In 2008, Robinson hit .352 with four homers, 46 runs scored, 32 RBI, and 13 steals in 63 games with Double-A Springfield of the Texas League. He was Cardinals organizational Player of the Month for April, Texas League Player of the Week on May 12, and was a mid-season Texas League All Star. On June 22 he was promoted to Triple-A Memphis and finished the season hitting .220 with 10 RBI and 10 runs scored in 42 games.
On May 7, 2009, Robinson had his contract purchased from Memphis after Rick Ankiel was placed on the disabled list. He made his major league debut that day. Baseball America listed Robinson as the "Best Defensive Outfielder" in the Cardinals organization in its "Best Tools" survey.
In 2010, Baseball America again rated Robinson as the "Best Defensive Outfielder" in the Cardinals organization in its "Best Tools" survey.
