Charlotte Knights catcher Chuckie Robinson III, third generation, reflects on his family's baseball legacy. Pressure was low, gravitated to baseball early on, and received support throughout his career journey.
Robinson's grandpa serves as his hitting coach, emphasizing accountability in his training. The family's baseball history includes playing in the Negro Leagues and traditional catch techniques like the 'donut mitt.'
All three Robinson generations were minor league catchers, but Chuckie is the first to reach MLB, making his debut with the Cincinnati Reds in August 2022.
Robinson values the game deeply, echoing his grandpa's teachings of giving it all on the field and appreciating every opportunity in baseball.
