Victor Robles Remains Without Stolen Base Thus Far In 2020
4 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles had considerable fantasy pomp coming into the year due to the blend of power (53 extra-base hits) and speed (28 steals) that he showcased last season. But through his first 20 games of 2020, that same production has been severely lacking. Despite a 28.1 ft/s sprint speed that ranks above average, Robles has only attempted one steal all year, in which he was caught. The power has dissipated as well, with just three doubles and one home run entering play Saturday. Oddly enough, his OPS+ has actually risen from 2019 to this point, which is an indicator that Robles may find his level over 162 games -- although that’s not an option this year. Despite the pre-season investment that many made for the 23-year-old, his season-long potential has fallen by the wayside and he should only be an option in keepers formats or deep leagues.
