Robichaux was drafted out of Louisiana-Lafayette as a polished college starter with three pitches. His frame is extremely slender and does not lead to much additional physical projection. The fastball lacks growth potential, with below-average velocity and limited feel for commanding it. The breaking ball is slurvy and lacks average rotation with an inconsistent release point. It is tough to envision anything more than an organizational arm here without drastic changes to the delivery.
