Robb William Quinlan (born March 17, 1977) is a former Major League Baseball utility player. He plays first base, third base, corner outfield, catcher and designated hitter.
Quinlan's older brother, Tom Quinlan, spent parts of four seasons in the major leagues with the Blue Jays, Phillies, and Twins.
Quinlan attended Hill-Murray High School in Maplewood, Minnesota. At Hill-Murray High School he set the state and school record for consecutive time reaching base. In his junior year in 1994, Quinlan reached base 86 consecutive times, garnering praise from newspapers around the country. He was drafted by the California Angels in the 33rd round (900th overall) of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft out of high school and was offered $50, but did not sign with them. Instead, Quinlan decided to attend the University of Minnesota and graduated from there in 1999, obtaining a degree in marketing and communications.
While at Minnesota, he was selected to the Big Ten Conference All-Star team three times, in 1997, 1998, and 1999. In 1999, he was also Big Ten Conference Player of the Year after leading the conference in batting average at .416 and hits (92). Quinlan left as the Big Ten Conference's career leader in hits and Minnesota's career leader in hits, home runs, doubles, runs scored, RBI, total bases, and at-bats.
