Rounding out the first half of the Twins' 2025 draft is Shai Robinson, a 21-year-old shortstop from Illinois State. Robinson spent all three of his college seasons at Illinois State, where his game took strides forward every year. He added 15 pounds of strength in the off-season, which allowed him to start tapping into some power as he hit a career-high ten home runs. At 6'1" and 195 pounds now, he might have some more room to grow, but he's better off sticking with the glove-first approach at shortstop.

He has a great glove at shortstop, where he should stick around for a while due to his strong arm and above-average athleticism. Anything else he can add at the plate is a plus. The hit tool is very fringy, but he has shown a good enough approach to walk more than he has struck out in each of his last two seasons.
