'Over the last year I've promoted self-love and self-care and the (San Francisco) Giants are offering me the opportunity to transition to a role as a mental-health advocate,' Drew Robinson wrote in a lengthy farewell note on Twitter.
Robinson said while for years he focused solely on the physical skills of preparing for his sport, there has been so much mental growth this past year. He hopes to use his experiences to help others address their emotional well-being and said being an example “is truly humbling.”
“This past season has been a steep learning curve as I’ve prioritized putting in the work mentally and emotionally,” Robinson wrote. “While I’m proud of my progress, growth is a continuous journey.” The 29-year-old Robinson was a fourth-round draft pick by the Rangers in 2010 out of Silverado High in Las Vegas. The infielder/outfielder had a career .202 batting average with nine home runs and 22 RBI over three major league seasons with Texas and St. Louis.
Oakland outfielder Mark Canha applauded Robinson and the Giants for placing such importance on mental health, saying that during the course of a season “I don’t feel so good, you kind of get in the blues a little bit.” “Professional baseball, as glamorous as it seems to the public and to the fans, it’s a very difficult lifestyle,” Canha said. “It looks glamorous from the outside but it doesn’t always feel glamorous on the inside. It’s hard. It’s unlike any other type of sport that you can do in terms of travel and physical and mental stress. It’s extremely hard to be a professional athlete, particularly baseball when you’re playing every day. It takes its toll.
