Mauricio Antonio Robles (born March 5, 1989), is a Venezuelan former professional baseball pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies. He was signed as a non-drafted free agent by the Detroit Tigers on April 1, 2006. Robles pitched for Venezuela at the 2013 World Baseball Classic.
Robles had a basic fastball, curveball, changeup combination.[1] He was described as having a good arm with a good fastball and developing secondary pitches.[2] While Robles’ fastball was clocked as high as 97 mph, his changeup was perhaps his best pitch and was described as a plus offering by peers and coaches.[3]
Baseball career
Robles finished fourth among Rookie-level Venezuelan Summer League (VSL) relievers, with 11.25 strikeouts per nine innings pitched (K/9), in 2006.
Robles topped all starting pitchers, with 10.83 K/9, in 2007. He was second in the VSL, with six losses, finished third with 83 strikeouts, and tied for fifth with 14 games started.
Detroit Tigers
In 2008, Robles went 5-3, with a 2.66 earned run average (ERA), in 23 appearances, including 16 starts, for the Minor League Baseball (MiLB) Class A full-season West Michigan Whitecaps, of the Midwest League. For the month of July, he ranked ninth in the league, with a 1.55 ERA, in five starts.
Seattle Mariners
After beginning the season by playing at two levels of A Ball for the Tigers, Robles was traded on July 31, 2009, to the Seattle Mariners, along with fellow pitcher Luke French, for veteran pitcher Jarrod Washburn.[4] For the remainder of that Summer, he pitched for the Class A+ High Desert Mavericks, of the California League.
Philadelphia Phillies
On December 14, 2012, the Philadelphia Phillies claimed Robles off waivers, from Seattle. After progressing quickly through the Phillies’ Double-A and Triple-A farm teams, they promoted him to the major leagues, on September 3, 2013. Robles was sent outright to the Triple-A International League (IL) Lehigh Valley IronPigs, on October 3, 2013; he then declared his free agency, on November 4, 2013.
Chicago White Sox
Robles signed a minor league deal with the Chicago White Sox on November 24, 2013, that included an invitation to spring training. He spent the 2014 season with the IL’s Triple-A Charlotte Knights. Robles again became a free agent, following the season.
Bridgeport Bluefish
On April 5, 2016, Robles signed with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He became a free agent after the 2016 season.
