Â
This installment focuses on

Â
DartmouthSports.com: What have you been doing during your sophomore summer?
Tyler Robinson: I am currently on an off term. I started the summer playing summer baseball for the New Britain Bees in Connecticut. I am currently at home (Denver, Colo.).
Â
DS: If you could swap places with one teammate, who would it be and why?
TR: I would like to swap places with my teammate
Tyler Cox. He is the spark plug of every room he walks into.Â
Â
DS: If you could play another sport at Dartmouth, what would it be and why?
TR: If I could play another sport, it would probably be tennis. Both of my parents played at the Division I level at the University of Colorado and it would be a cool experience to continue the tennis tradition.
Â
DS: What has been your best on-field memory thus far in your Dartmouth career?Â
TR: Beating Columbia in walk-off fashion to end our season and take the series. One of the best team wins I've ever been a part of.
Â
DS: How is Hanover different or similar to where you grew up?
TR: I grew up in Denver, Colorado, so many people assume I'm used to winters in Hanover. But I've come to learn nothing can actually prepare you for a Hanover winter.Â
Â
DS: What show do you binge watch?
TR: Breaking Bad.
Â
DS: What is your hidden talent?
TR: I'm mediocre at juggling. That's about all I've got.Â
Â
DS: Do you have a nickname on your team? Who gave it to you and why?
TR: My nickname on the team is T-Rob. It was given to me by an old teammate when I was younger but it gets used a lot here because there are three Tyler's in the baseball '24 class.Â
Â
DS: What would be your best advice to your 15-year-old self?Â
TR: Don't take life too seriously…enjoy the little moments and it'll all work out.Â
