Robby Martin
OF 6-3 200 Florida State
Mack's spin -
I have Martin taken as the last pick in the first round.
Martin was a speed first offensive machine who came to camp this year with 30 more pounds of muscle.
O expect them to translate in his slugging percentage this season at FSU.

Robby Martin took a different approach with his offseason, focusing on shedding bad weight and becoming leaner and more athletic. Now listed at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Martin is a hard-contact machine, with one of college baseball’s sweetest lefthanded swings. Look for his power numbers to spike as well in his third year at FSU. Albert is another instinctive natural hitter with a pretty lefthanded stroke, solid power and speed that plays in center field. He’s got All-America potential if he can avoid the shoulder issues that hampered him in the past, and he’s a perfect fit in the 2-hole behind Tyler Martin. The son of the head coach, Tyler might not have the big, sexy tools of some of the other guys in the lineup, but he’s a high-energy scrapper with a little whip in his swing, and he just has a knack for finding his barrel and moving the ball around the field. He also has the best plate discipline in the lineup (as evidenced by his 16-8 BB-K mark last year) and might prove to be one of the toughest outs in the ACC. He’s just a winning player and an ideal catalyst.

Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 210 | B-T: L-R
Commit/Drafted: Marlins 2018 (37)
Age At Draft: 21.9
Martin was a solid draft prospect out of high school—ranking No. 390 on the 2018 BA 500—but his value then came primarily from an impressive run tool and offensive upside, with a slap-and-run approach at the plate. He’s added about 30 pounds of muscle since then and is now listed at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds. Martin has played exclusively left and right field for Florida State and has grown into more power since his prep days, while being one of the Seminoles’ most reliable bats in each of his two seasons with the club. In 2019 Martin hit .315/.398/.449 with four home runs and 17 doubles and in 2020 he led the team in hitting with a .324/.439/.412 line through 17 games. Martin’s hitting track record with a wood bat on the Cape isn’t quite as loud (.167/.265/.233) but he only played a brief 14 games. Martin has shown a solid understanding of the strike zone and has walked at a solid 13.3% clip, but teams would like to see a full season where he establishes more in-game power production to go along with an advanced hit tool.

Robby Martin, OF (2021): Martin started hitting the day he arrived in Tallahassee and hasn’t stopped. If the changes he made to his body during the pandemic prove sustainable, he may play himself into the 1st round.

MLB.com unveiled their Top 100 Draft prospect for 2021. A current Florida State player, as well as a commitment, made an appearance on the list.
FSU outfielder Robby Martin checks in at No. 51 on the list. The scouting report on him is below:
A solid high school player in the Tampa area, Martin hit the ground running when he got to Florida State after the Marlins took him in Round 37 of the 2018 Draft. The outfielder was named to multiple Freshman All-American teams after hitting .315/.398/.449 in 2019, and he was batting.324 as a sophomore before the shutdown following an unproductive, albeit brief, turn in the Cape Cod League. Martin made up for some lost time by continuing to hit well in the Florida Collegiate League, hitting .313 over 19 games while playing alongside fellow Florida college outfield prospect Jud Fabian.
The left-handed hitter has added a lot of muscle to his 6-foot-3 frame since joining the Seminoles. He’s been more hit over power to date, with more doubles pop than over-the-fence power. He does make consistent hard contact and could reach average power in the future.
Martin has only manned outfield corners during his time in college, with a slightly above-average arm that plays well in either spot. He lacks the pure speed to play center and scouts aren’t sold on his overall defense, thinking left field is likely his best spot at the next level. Behind Adrian Del Castillo and Martin's summer ball teammate Fabian, Martin is the next best college bat in Florida, and it’s that bat that will get him drafted in the top few rounds.

Bio:
Height: 6-3
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: L-R
Hometown: Tampa, FL
School: Florida State
Martin was a standout in FSU's lineup the last two seasons, and arguably their best his freshman season when he slashed .315/.398/.449. He has the prototypical frame of a power hitting corner outfielder with the profile at the plate to match. One of the better college bats in the class. Reports are he's put on good weight and improved his speed this fall. One to watch.
19. Robby Martin, OF, Florida State
6-foot-3, 200 pounds. Proportionally strong frame, broad shoulders. Left-handed hitter. Bat travels on an uphill path through the zone, gets extension and creates natural loft. Some swing-and-miss issues could lower the overall hit tool. Prototypical corner outfield profile.
Robby Martin, COF, Florida State University
A big-bodied, slugging lefty, Martin shares similarities with Twins 2018 first round pick Trevor Larnach, who was a top-20 selection out of Oregon State. Standing 6’3” with a broad build, Martin has plus raw power and a discerning approach, giving him a classic middle-of-the-order profile. As a freshman starter for the Noles in 2019, Martin immediately made himself at home in the ACC, registering 257 plate appearances with a .315/.398/.449 line and four home runs. He decided to try to carry the momentum into the offseason in the Cape Cod League, but didn’t end up getting much playing time, recording just 34 trips to the dish in 14 games. In those contests, he struggled to the tune of a .167/.265/.233 line with 11 strikeouts, but it’s difficult to glean much from such a small sample.
Heading into 2020, Martin projected as a central cog in the FSU offense, and started the season on a torrid pace, reaching base at a .439 clip in 82 PAs. If there was a blemish on his line before the season was shut down, it was that he didn’t manage a home run, and his overall power production was below what would be expected of him. Martin’s swing is clean and easy with a simple load and footwork and above average bat speed, with few questioning his ability to make contact and reach base. If there’s a question about Martin’s profile as of now, it pertains to how much of his raw power he will get to in games, but given his proclivity for hard liners and his natural strength, I’d expect that he’ll end up getting to a good amount of it. Martin projects long term as a right fielder who could be a 5-hole type hitter, or more of a fourth outfielder type if the power doesn’t fully blossom.
He projects to be picked somewhere between the top 20 and the top 50 depending on how his 2021 season goes.
7) Robby Martin, OF, Florida State
Martin is a projectable bat-first corner outfielder who has done nothing but hit in his brief time at Florida State. Standing at 6’3 and weighing in at 200 pounds, he has some present strength but his frame also suggests he could continue to put on muscle, which will be important for him as he needs to develop his power (he has only hit four homers at FSU). Martin has a pretty left-handed swing with solid bat path and a great approach, as he does a nice job of battling during at bats and drawing walks. In his two seasons in Tallahassee, Martin has posted a fantastic 13.2% walk rate. His natural loft in his swing is conducive to power, which I believe is still on the way. However, he doesn’t do a great job of delaying torso rotation, taking away some of that barrel whip through the hitting zone. While Martin presents an intriguing potential OBP/power profile, there are some significant swing and miss issues. His long arms create some big holes in his swing, and he has been prone to strikeouts. However, as a young player in the ACC his strikeout rate waOverall Martin projects as a high OBP corner OF who has a chance to develop into 12-17 homer pop, but the swing and miss issues make him a more volatile college bat.
Standout(s): Robby Martin, FSU - The Marlins selected Martin 1107th overall in the 2018 draft, but he chose to hit campus at Tallahassee, and hit campus is what he did, as Martin slashed .345/.426/.503 with four homers and an 11.9 BB%. At the moment he’s considered to be the front-runner to be the first college position player selected in the 2021 draft.
