He was a switch hitter who threw left-handed, stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall and weighed 186 pounds (84 kg).

In his second pro campaign, 1970, Robinson batted .256 with 114 hits for the Salt Lake City Bees of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.

Facing veteran Reds' starting pitcher Tony Cloninger, Robinson received a base on balls in his first Major League plate appearance.

Then, leading off the fifth inning, in his second time at bat, Robinson singled to right field and stole second base — but was left stranded when the next three Padres made outs.

[3] Robinson would have three more multi-hit games before the end of the 1970 National League season, including back-to-back contests on September 25–26 against the San Francisco Giants at Candlestick Park, in which he hit his two MLB home runs off Skip Pitlock[4] and future Hall of Famer Juan Marichal.
