## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Dante Robinson

Dante is a speedy left-handed hitter. He is a great for slapping ground balls and beating out the throw to first. He can hit liners to the outfield on occasion, but he is by no means a power hitter. In the field, he has a decent arm and makes a good outfielder because he's fast enough to track down most fly balls.

From the AI's persepctive, Dante has a high priority at shortstop, which could be a detriment to your team as Dante doesn't have the powerful arm most other shortstops have.

### Backyard Football 2002

Dante Robinson

Dante is a lethal combination of arm accuracy and speed. His skill set, along with his lefthandedness, are very reminiscent of Michael Vick. He could lead the league in passing yards AND rushing yards if he really wanted to! On defense, he is fast enough to be a cornerback but will not intercept many passes because he is short.
