Windsor's Jacob Robson could have his name called at the Major League Baseball draft, which kicks off tonight.

The 21-year-old outfielder's been playing at Mississippi State for three seasons after being drafted out of high school by the San Diego Padres back in 2012, 915th overall.

According to the Canadian Baseball Network, one of Robson's top qualities is his elite speed.

He's batting .346 in 35 games this season, with four doubles, three triples, one homerun and 20 RBIs. Robson's also 14-for-16 in stolen base attempts.
