Robert Lazaro Andino is an American professional baseball infielder with the Baltimore Orioles of Major League Baseball. Prior to joining the Orioles in 2009, he spent parts of four seasons with the Florida Marlins from 2005 through 2008. He is of Puerto Rican and Cuban descent. Andino was selected in the second round of the 2002 MLB Draft by the hometown Florida Marlins out of Miami Southridge High School. He was promoted to the Marlins for the first time on September 2, 2005. He made his major-league debut two days later on September 4 when he replaced Álex González at shortstop... in the eighth inning of a 7–1 loss to the New York Mets at Dolphins Stadium. His only at bat was a groundout to shortstop José Reyes to end the game. His first hit in the majors was a ground-rule double off Vicente Padilla in the fourth inning of a 10–2 defeat at home to the Philadelphia Phillies on September 17. The Marlins initially saw him as their "shortstop of the future." Other players, including Hanley Ramírez, knocked him out of that role.
