Kenneth Neal Robinson (November 3, 1969 – February 28, 1999) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from 1995 through 1997 for the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals (1996).
Listed at 5' 9", 175 lb., Robinson batted and threw right-handed.
He was born in Barberton, Ohio. In a three-season career, Robinson posted a 2-2 record with a 3.91 ERA without saves in 29 pitching appearances. After signing with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1998, Robinson died in Tucson in a traffic collision during spring training on February 28, 1999.
He was 29.
A teammate, minor leaguer John Rosengren, had been driving the vehicle involved in the accident, and he was charged with second-degree murder due to being under the influence of alcohol.
Key evidence in the case was thrown out because police did not allow him to call his father (who was an attorney) after the collision, and he returned to playing baseball.
