The Royals signed their fourth round pick, 18-year old Derrick Robinson, on Thursday and from the way it sounds, the guy can absolutely fly. He was apparently headed to Florida to play baseball and or football, but not any more.
Here are a few blurbs about the guy from around the web:
-- "Robinson has been called the fastest player in the entire 2006 senior class…Although he is small for a college star, at 5-foot-11, 165 pounds, Robinson brings blazing 4.25-second 40-yard dash speed." –GatorSports.com
-- "Derrick Robinson, the fastest man in the draft, is off the board to the Royals with the first pick of the fourth round. The outfielder was clocked at 6.19 in the 60-yard dash…" –BaseballAmerica.com
-- "Robinson batted .488 as a senior at P.K. Yonge High School in Gainesville, Fla. He had 41 hits in 84 at-bats with 42 steals." –Kansas City Star
-- "Derrick Robinson is undoubtedly the fastest player in high school baseball. In fact, he might be the fastest player in high school history. Not far behind Robinson is super athlete Brent Brewer from Georgia, Jeff Rapoport from California and a couple others." –PerfectGame.org
