In the approach to the 2022 Trash Pandas season, we've teamed up with Prospects1500 to give fans a preview for which players they might see in the Rocket City.

Continuing with pitchers in the Angels farm system is righty Robinson Pina.

Pina made his Rocket City debut last year but should be back with better results. Pina’s 2021 was a mixed bag, struggling at first but turning it on in the middle of the season with a 2.63 ERA between Single-A and High-A.

He has an excellent fastball that gets up to 95 mph, a splitter with good depth, and a curveball that he likes to strike out hitters with. Pina’s best role looks to be out of the bullpen where the fastball will play up. Robinson will start his season with the Trash Pandas and could see time with the Angels if things go well.

The 2022 Trash Pandas campaign gets under way on the road against the Birmingham Barons on April 8th, followed by the home opener at Toyota Field on April 12th against Pensacola. Tickets are still available for opening week, and can be purchased here.
