At age 17, he was the youngest player on Israel's team in the 2023 European Championship. He played one game, relieving DJ Sharabi in the 4th with a 9-2 lead over Belgium. He began by striking out Nando Mostaert and allowed a run that inning as Sam Boermans singled and Yves Poesmans doubled him in. He went 1-2-3 in the 5th against Lucas Rizzi, Drew Janssen and Axel Poesmans. After a one-out walk to Dennis De Quint in the 6th, he whiffed Boermans and Julien Muyldermans to end the frame. Shlomo Lipetz (who had already wrapped up his collegiate career before Bobrov was born) relieved him and Bobrov got the win over Edouard Vanheer.
