Tobin batted and threw left-handed.
He was born in Saint Louis, Missouri. Tobin collected 200 or more hits each season from 1920-1923, batting .335 in that timespan.
In 1921 he set a career best with a .352 batting average, led both leagues with 671 at-bats and tied for the league lead with 18 triples.
His 236 hits and 132 runs scored that year were both the second-highest totals in the major leagues as well as career highs.

That season, Tobin batted .331 and scored 122 runs with a career-high 13 home runs.
