'''Robin R. Yount''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|j|aʊ|n|t}}; born September 16, 1955), nicknamed "'''the Kid'''" and "'''Rockin' Robin'''", is an American former professional [[baseball]] player. He spent his entire 20-year career in [[Major League Baseball]] as a [[shortstop]] and [[center fielder]] for the [[Milwaukee Brewers]] (1974–93).

Yount was drafted in 1973 and advanced to the major leagues one year later at the age of 18. He won two [[American League Most Valuable Player]] awards. In [[1982 World Series|1982]], he led the Brewers to a [[World Series]] appearance. Yount was elected to the [[Baseball Hall of Fame]] in [[1999 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting|1999]] in his first year of eligibility. Since his retirement as a player, he has held several roles as a baseball coach.

==Early life==
Robin R. Yount was born September 16, 1955, in [[Danville, Illinois]]. He lived briefly in [[Covington, Indiana]], then his family moved to [[southern California]] when he was an infant; his father got a job testing rocket engines with [[Rocketdyne]].<ref name=Sondheimer>{{cite news|last1=Sondheimer|first1=Eric|title=Robin the Bat-man|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-jul-23-sp-58938-story.html|access-date=August 8, 2014|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=July 23, 1999}}</ref> Robin attended [[William Howard Taft High School (Los Angeles, California)|William Howard Taft High School]] in [[Woodland Hills, California]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Dominguez|first1=Fernando|title='Boy Wonder' Yount Drew a Crowd at Taft|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-02-12-sp-22132-story.html|access-date=January 16, 2015|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 12, 1994}}</ref>

==Professional career==
===Draft and minor leagues===
Yount was the third pick overall in the June [[1973 Major League Baseball draft]], one slot ahead of fellow Hall of Famer and [[3,000 hit club]] member [[Dave Winfield]].

===Milwaukee Brewers (1974–1993)===
Yount made his major league debut the following April, at 18 years old. After going hitless in his first four games, Yount hit a game-winning home run in his sixth. Yount is the last 18-year-old to hit a home run in the Major Leagues ([[Andruw Jones]], [[Mike Trout]], [[Bryce Harper]], and [[Juan Soto]] are the most recent teenagers to hit Major League home runs, but did so as 19-year-olds). On September 14, 1975 (two days before his 20th birthday), Yount broke [[Mel Ott]]'s 47-year-old record for most games played in the major leagues before turning 20.

Yount courted controversy in the winter of 1978. He threatened to retire from the game and take up professional golf rather than be underpaid or moved to the outfield by the Brewers. Early in the season, [[Paul Molitor]] was called up from the Brewers Class A affiliate to the major league team because of Yount's absence. Yount's demands were met; when he returned to the team, Molitor was moved from shortstop to second base to make room for Yount.<ref name=Okrent>{{cite book|last1=Okrent|first1=Daniel|title=Nine Innings: The Anatomy of a Baseball Game|date=2000|publisher=[[Houghton Mifflin Harcourt]]|isbn=0547527527|page=47|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z7gk-OcmVRkC&pg=PT64|access-date=August 8, 2014}}</ref>

He was an early proponent of weight training – then uncommon in baseball – and by 1980 Yount's power hitting had improved, particularly for a shortstop. Yount was an [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star]] in 1980, 1982, and 1983. No other Brewer was voted a starter in consecutive years until [[Ryan Braun]] started each year between 2008 and 2011.<ref>Wagner, Andrew (July 5, 2009). [http://www.onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/fielderbraunasg070509.html "Meet them in St. Louis: Fielder, Braun are All-Stars,"] OnMilwaukee.com, accessed July 5, 2009</ref> Before his 26th birthday, Yount had accumulated 1,153 hits, the seventh highest total for a 25-year-old player in MLB history, ahead of Baseball Hall of Fame members [[Hank Aaron]] (1,137), [[Jimmie Foxx]] (1,127) and [[Rogers Hornsby]] (1,073).<ref name="r852">{{cite web | last=Normandin | first=Marc | title=Mike Trout isn't the fastest to 1,000 hits, but it's still a historic feat | website=SBNation.com | date=2017-08-08 | url=https://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2017/8/8/16112462/mike-trout-1000-hits-angels | access-date=2025-02-01}}</ref>

[[File:Robin Yount - Milwaukee Brewers.jpg|thumb|left|Yount with the Brewers, {{c.|1977}}]]
Yount led the American League with 210 hits in 1982. The 1982 AL East race was tied on the final day of the season, with the race coming down to a winner-take-all game between the Brewers and the [[Baltimore Orioles]]. With the title on the line, Yount hit home runs in each of his first two at-bats against Orioles starter [[Jim Palmer]]. Yount finished with a four-hit game, as the Brewers won 10-2. In addition to his only 200-hit season, he registered career highs with 29 home runs, 114 RBI, and a .331 batting average (.001 behind the league leader, [[Willie Wilson (baseball)|Willie Wilson]]). Yount finished with a .578 slugging percentage and .957 OPS on his way to gaining 367 total bases – leading the major leagues in all three categories.<ref name="Robin Yount Statistics and History">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/y/yountro01.shtml|title=Robin Yount Statistics and History|work=[[Baseball-Reference.com]]|access-date=September 29, 2011}}</ref> His slugging percentage was the second highest ever by a shortstop, and his 129 runs set the record for that position.<ref name="Yount Wins AL MVP">{{cite web|url=http://brewers1982.com/1982/10/29/yount-wins-al-mvp/|title=Yount Wins AL MVP|work=Brewers1982.com|publisher=PastKast|access-date=September 29, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304231342/http://brewers1982.com/1982/10/29/yount-wins-al-mvp/|archive-date=March 4, 2016|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

That year, Yount also won his only [[Gold Glove Award]] and his first [[MLB Most Valuable Player award|Most Valuable Player Award]]. His performance garnered 27 of 28 possible first place votes in the 1982 MVP balloting.<ref name="1982 awards">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1982.shtml|title=Baseball Awards Voting for 1982|work=[[Baseball-Reference.com]]|access-date=September 29, 2011}}</ref> The year ended with the Brewers making their only [[1982 World Series|World Series]] appearance.  Although Yount became the only player in history to have two 4-hit games in one World Series, Milwaukee lost to the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] in seven games. Yount batted .414 in the Series, with one home run and 6 RBI.

In 1985, a shoulder problem forced Yount to move to the outfield.<ref name="library">{{cite web |url=https://baseballbiography.com/robin-yount-1955 |title=The Ballplayers – Robin Yount |access-date=2008-12-13 |work=baseballbiography.com |df=mdy-all }}</ref> After splitting time between center field and left field, Yount became the Brewers' regular center fielder in 1986. He played more than 1,200 games in the outfield in his career, with a .990 fielding percentage. He made a game-ending, diving catch to preserve a no-hitter by [[Juan Nieves]] early in the 1987 season.

Yount narrowly won a second MVP Award in 1989, making him only the third player to win MVPs at two positions, joining [[Hank Greenberg]] and [[Stan Musial]] ([[Alex Rodriguez]] would later join this group).<ref name="library"/> Yount was the first AL player to win multiple MVP awards in over 25 years, since the Yankees' [[Roger Maris]] (1960 and 1961) and [[Mickey Mantle]] (1956, 1957, and 1962). Yount collected more hits (1,731) in the decade of the 1980s than any other player.<ref name="urlBaseball Hall of Fame">{{cite web |url=http://baseballhall.org/hof/yount-robin |title=National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|access-date=2012-06-11}}</ref>

[[File:Yount signed ball.jpg|thumb|upright|Robin Yount signed baseball circa 1984]]
After the 1989 season, Yount was a free agent and he spoke with several teams about contract offers. The [[California Angels]] were prepared to make a serious offer,<ref name=Penner>{{cite news|last1=Penner|first1=Mike|title=Losing Yount keeps Angels a step behind|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-12-20-sp-784-story.html|access-date=August 8, 2014|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=December 20, 1989}}</ref> but Yount signed a three-year contract with the Brewers worth $9.6 million in February 1990. He cited the fact he was more comfortable in Milwaukee (with [[Bud Selig]] as owner) than leaving for a different place.<ref name=Contract>{{cite news|title=Names in the news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-02-21-sp-1150-story.html|access-date=August 8, 2014|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=February 21, 1990}}</ref> At the start of the 1990 season, he had 2,602 hits in his career, which was fourth among players by age 34 to [[Ty Cobb]], [[Rogers Hornsby]], and [[Hank Aaron]]. In 1991, Yount was briefly on the [[disabled list]] (DL) with a kidney stone, only the second stint on the DL in his career; the first one was in 1978.<ref name=DL>{{cite news|title=Brewers place Yount on the disabled list|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/07/16/sports/sports-people-baseball-brewers-place-yount-on-the-disabled-list.html|access-date=August 8, 2014|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=July 16, 1991}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vault.si.com/vault/1990/04/30/forever-a-kid-robin-yount-has-mvp-talents-worth-millions-but-revels-in-high-risk-fun-with-very-big-toys|title=forever a KID - Sports Illustrated Vault|work=Sports Illustrated Vault &#124; SI.com }}</ref>

On September 9, 1992, Yount collected his 3,000th career hit, becoming the 17th player (and the third-youngest) to reach the mark.<ref name=HOF3000>{{cite web|title=The 3000 Hit Club: Robin Yount|url=http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/3000_hit_club/yount_robin.htm|publisher=[[Baseball Hall of Fame]]|access-date=August 8, 2014}}</ref> He announced his retirement after the 1993 season.

He was elected to the [[Baseball Hall of Fame]] in 1999, his first year of eligibility. That same year, he was included in the balloting for the [[Major League Baseball All-Century Team]], finishing fifth among shortstops.<ref>{{cite web|title=All Century Team|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/legendary/limc100.shtml|website=Baseball-Almanac.com}}</ref>

Yount holds Brewers career records for games, at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, triples, RBIs, total bases, walks and strikeouts. He was the last active major leaguer to have been a teammate of [[Hank Aaron]] (1975–1976). He posted a career .285 batting average with 251 home runs, 3,142 hits, 1,632 runs scored, 583 doubles, 126 triples, 1,406 RBI, 271 stolen bases and 966 walks. His 11,008 career at-bats is the ninth-most in Major League Baseball history (through the end of the 2020 season), and he ranks 20th on the all-time hit list. His three All-Star appearances are tied with [[Ferguson Jenkins]] for the second-fewest of any Hall of Famer from the All-Star Game era, and he won a second MVP Award in 1989 without making the All-Star Team.

==Coaching career==
[[File:Robin Yount.jpg|thumb|Yount coaching with the Brewers in 2006]]
Yount served as first base coach and bench coach for the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]] from 2002 to 2004. He resigned after the dismissal of Arizona manager [[Bob Brenly]].<ref name="urlUSATODAY.com"/> He, [[Hank Aaron]], [[Warren Spahn]] and [[Bob Uecker]] threw out the ceremonial first pitches at the [[2002 Major League Baseball All-Star Game]] at [[Miller Park (Milwaukee)|Miller Park]].

In 2005, Brewers manager [[Ned Yost]] convinced [[Dale Sveum]], a teammate of Yount's, to become Milwaukee's new third base coach. Yount followed suit a few weeks later, accepting a post as the Brewers' bench coach.<ref name="urlUSATODAY.com">{{cite news |url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2005-11-03-notes_x.htm  |work=USA Today|access-date=2008-10-03 | date=November 4, 2005 | title=Robin 'The Kid' Yount returns to Brewers}}</ref> In November 2006, Yount announced he would not return to the team as bench coach for the 2007 season. However, on September 15, 2008, Sveum, by now the team's manager, chose Yount as his bench coach.<ref name="urlYount reveling in another postseason">{{cite web |url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081002&content_id=3584104&vkey=ps2008news&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb |title=Yount reveling in another postseason |work=Major League Baseball |access-date=2008-10-03}}</ref>

In 2012, when Sveum was named the Chicago Cubs new manager, rumors quickly spread that Sveum would ask Yount to coach with him, even though the Brewers and Cubs had become bitter rivals. Sveum very quickly confirmed that he was not even considering such a move. As of 2014, Yount is a special instructor in spring training for the Brewers.<ref name=Fox>{{cite web|last1=Pesetski|first1=John|title=Yount springs into action, imparts wisdom on Brewers in spring training|url=http://www.foxsports.com/wisconsin/story/yount-springs-into-action-imparts-wisdom-on-brewers-in-spring-training-031714|work=[[Fox Sports]]|date=March 17, 2014|access-date=August 8, 2014}}</ref>

Yount is widely considered to be the greatest player in Brewers history.<ref name="Bleacher Report">{{cite news |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/889028-milwaukee-brewers-power-ranking-the-top-15-players-in-franchise-history|work=Bleacher Report|access-date=2021-04-01| date=January 18, 2012 | title= Milwaukee Brewers: Power Ranking the Top 15 Players in Franchise History}}</ref><ref name="Ranker">{{cite news|title=The Best Milwaukee Brewers of All Time|url=https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-milwaukee-brewers-of-all-time/ranker-baseball|access-date=2021-04-01}}</ref> His 77.3 bWAR is 17 points higher than anyone else in franchise history. Yount is the only Brewer to win multiple MVP awards and one of three members of the franchise to reach 3,000 hits (Paul Molitor and Hank Aaron) and the only member of the franchise to do it solely as a Brewer. Yount is also the Brewers’ all-time leader in games, hits, at-bats, plate appearances, runs, doubles, triples, runs batted in, and walks.

Yount is a popular figure in Milwaukee and often attends Brewers On Deck, the team’s annual preseason fan-fest.<ref name="Major League Baseball">{{cite news |url= https://www.mlb.com/press-release/2018-brewers-on-deck-attendees-announced-264744540 |work=Major League Baseball|access-date=2021-04-01|title= 2018 Brewers On Deck attendees announced}}</ref> Yount’s number 19 is one of six numbers retired by the Brewers. His statue on the grounds of American Family Field is one of just four such statues erected by the Brewers. Yount was a charter member of the [[Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor]] when it was created in 2014.

==Personal life==
Yount met his wife, Michele Edelstein, at Taft High School. They later reconnected, and have been married since 1979.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://vault.si.com/vault/1982/09/27/this-robin-is-a-rare-bird | title=This Robin is a Rare Bird | work=Sports Illustrated Vault &#124; SI.com }}</ref><ref name=Hunt>{{cite news|last1=Hunt|first1=Michael|title=Unassuming star puts family at top of hit list|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1368&dat=19920911&id=fbxRAAAAIBAJ&pg=6868,3950279|access-date=August 8, 2014|work=[[Milwaukee Sentinel]]|date=September 11, 1992}}</ref> Robin and Michele Yount have four children: Melissa, Amy, Dustin, and Jenna.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/robin-yount/ | title=Robin Yount – Society for American Baseball Research }}</ref>

Yount's older brother [[Larry Yount|Larry]] was a pitcher and was briefly called up to play in the major leagues. While taking his warmup tosses for his debut as a [[Houston Astros]] reliever in 1971, he experienced elbow pain.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU197109150.shtml|title=Atlanta Braves vs Houston Astros Box Score: September 15, 1971|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref> He never threw an official pitch in any MLB game, but is considered to have played one game, as he was officially put in to pitch.

Since retiring from baseball, Yount has increased his participation in two of his other passions: professional motorcycle and auto racing.<ref name="library"/> In June 2008, Yount announced the creation of a new all-natural lemonade drink, ''Robinade''. A portion of the proceeds go to charity.<ref name="urlRobinade">{{cite web |url=http://www.robinade.org/ |title=Robinade – Old School Lemonade |access-date=2008-10-03}}</ref> While hunting in Arizona in 2012, Yount accidentally shot friend and former teammate Dale Sveum with pellets from his shotgun, hitting him in the back and ear. Sveum's injuries were minor.<ref name=TSN>{{cite web|title=Cubs manager Dale Sveum shot by Robin Yount in hunting accident|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2012-12-05/cubs-sveum-accidentally-shot-by-yount-on-hunt|publisher=[[The Sporting News]]|access-date=August 8, 2014|date=December 5, 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810201040/http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/story/2012-12-05/cubs-sveum-accidentally-shot-by-yount-on-hunt|archive-date=August 10, 2014|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

In 2012, Yount became a minority owner of the [[Lakeshore Chinooks]] of the [[Northwoods League]], a collegiate summer baseball league. The Chinooks play at Kapco Park at [[Concordia University Wisconsin]] where the right field fence is 319 feet in his honor (a reference to Yount wearing number 19).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jsonline.com/sports/chinooks-first-season-is-home-run-956er4f-165807836.html|title=Chinooks' first season is home run |last1=Hunt |first1=Michael }}</ref>

In 2014, Yount was honored with the "Lombardi Award of Excellence" from the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation. The award was created to honor [[Vince Lombardi|Lombardi]]'s legacy, and is awarded annually to an individual who exemplifies the spirit of the acclaimed football coach.

On October 20, 2018, Yount threw out the first pitch before Game 7 of the National League Championship Series between the Dodgers and Brewers.
