Coach Robinson has been named manager of the Hyannis Mets of the NCAA sanctioned Cape Cod Summer League. The Cape Cod Baseball League prides itself on being the oldest, most successful amateur baseball league in the nation. With roots dating back to 1885, the Cape League has helped foster the careers of thousands of top professional baseball players, from such stars as Hall of Famer, Mickey Cochrane to Jason Varitek, who is a former Mets' player. In order to play in the Cape League potential players must have NCAA eligibility remaining at the start of each Cape League season.  The franchises are made up of primarily freshman and sophomores who are projected to be the top professional draft picks at the end of their junior year. The Mets have 25 former players that are currently on Major League rosters.  The season runs from June 13^th to August 10^th. 

"I am excited about the opportunity to be involved with an organization with this type of history. I just mentioned to a couple of people that I might have an interest in managing during the summer in the Cape really not expecting anything to happen. I received a couple of calls that the Hyannis job was open and the general manger calls me. Before I knew it they are flying me up for an interview and a few days later offering me the position" stated Robinson.

Robinson's primary responsibilities will be managing the team and directing the Hyannis Mets Baseball Camps. He also was approved to hire two assistant coaches, Jon Mitchell (Faulkner University) and Chad Gassman (Head Coach, Waldorf College). Former Major Leaguer Nick "The Greek" Siemasz is a long time Mets assistant. "I am very excited about Nick being part of our staff. He will provide valuable insight about the league and organization", said Robinson

"They made some changes in the organization that made me feel very comfortable with taking the position. They are striving to make this a great summer experience for everyone involved including my family. I think that my family will enjoy a summer in the Cape Cod area." continued Robinson

"My wife, Luann, and I prayed not for the job but for God to place us where we could continue to minister for HIM through baseball", stated Robinson.

For a baseball coach this is comparable to a World History professor taking a trip Egypt or a Religion Professor having the opportunity to spend the summer in Jerusalem. This should also give Young Harris College additional recognition on the national level that will help recruiting, as YHC prepares to enter the NCAA ranks in the near future.

Over the last five years Young Harris College has sent four players (Chandler Miller, Charlie Blackmon, Jay Brown, and Cory Gearrin) and two assistant coaches (Jeff Ditch and Jeremy Boles) to the Cape for the summer.
