WINNIPEG, MAN. – Winnipeg Goldeyes centre fielder Jacob Robson has been named Carbliss American Association Batter of the Week for the period ending August 17, the league announced Monday.

Robson hit .381 over six games, with two home runs, five extra-base hits, four runs batted in, and eight runs scored.

The Windsor, Ontario native is batting .263 on the season, with 13 four-baggers, and 46 RBIs. He leads the Goldeyes with 20 doubles, and 27 stolen bases, and is tied for the club lead with four triples.

The 30-year-old appeared in four games for the Detroit Tigers in August 2021 and was a member of the Canadian National Team at the 2023 World Baseball Classic and the 2019 Pan American Games Qualifier.

Robson was first selected by the San Diego Padres in the 30th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball June Draft out of Vincent Massey Secondary School (Windsor, Ont.). He chose to attend college and was subsequently chosen by the Tigers in the eighth round in 2016 out of Mississippi State University (Mississippi State, Miss.).

In 552 games in the affiliated minor leagues – including 300 at the triple-A level – Robson compiled a .283 batting average with 34 home runs, 210 RBIs, and 111 steals. He has also played several seasons in the Australian Baseball League.

Robson is the fourth member of the Goldeyes to win a weekly award this season, joining North Vancouver, B.C., native James Bradwell (August 3) and Mitchell Lambson (June 15), who garnered Pitcher of the Week honours, and Matthew Warkentin (Windsor, Ont.), who was named Batter of the Week July 6.
