NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Bahamians Kristian Robinson of the Arizona Diamondbacks and B.J. Murray of the Chicago Cubs seem to be headed toward Major League Stardom.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Bahamian baseball players Kristian Robinson of the Arizona Diamondbacks Organization and B.J. Murray of the Chicago Cubs Organization seem to be headed toward Major League Stardom. With the 2024 MLB season fast approaching, both players have been named top 20 players within their respective organizations at one point or another.
Robinson returned to the field last season with his mind right and with his legal situation sorted out and he balled out, hitting .283 with a .915 OPS with 14 home runs, and 42 RBI in only 65 games, starting in Rookie league but finishing with a productive stint for AA Amarillo Sod Poodles.
B.J. Murray seems to be the polar opposite of Kristian Robinson. The cool, calm collected 5’10” infielder from New Providence has the ability to play first, 2nd, and third base and hit for power was drafted out of Florida Atlantic University in the 15th round in 2021.
Despite his amazing season, he has not been invited to MLB spring training, unlike his Tennesee teammate Owen Caissie. But the fact that he was named to the futures game means the team thinks that he will be in the Majors sooner rather than later. If he can continue producing in the minors like he did last year, he won’t leave the Cubs with much of a choice.
