Cameron Robinson (born September 6, 1999) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent.
Robinson attended University High School in Orlando, Florida.
He was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 23rd round, with the 684th overall selection, of the 2017 Major League Baseball Draft.[1] He made his professional debut that year with the rookie–level Arizona League Brewers and also played for them in 2018 and 2019. He also played for the Rocky Mountain Vibes in 2019.[2]
Robinson did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He returned in 2021 to play for the Carolina Mudcats, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and one game for the Biloxi Shuckers. He started 2022 with Wisconsin before being promoted to Biloxi. On November 15, 2022, the Brewers added Robinson to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[4]
Robinson was optioned to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds to begin the 2023 season.[5] In 21 games split between Biloxi and Nashville, Robinson struggled to an 8.55 ERA with 30 strikeouts and two saves in 20 innings of work. He was designated for assignment by the Brewers on June 14, 2023.[6] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Double–A Biloxi on June 17.[7] He elected free agency on November 6.[8]
On December 14, 2023, Robinson signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets.[9] On November 6, he elected free agency.[10]
