MORE ABOUT LUIS ROBERT:

Luis Robert is a baseball player from Cuba who has already made quite a name for himself in the big leagues. The young outfielder was signed by the Chicago White Sox as an international free agent in 2017.

Robert’s professional career began in 2018 when he played for the White Sox’s minor league teams. He ended the season with a .269 batting average, 17 home runs, and 56 runs batted in (RBI), earning himself the title of the White Sox’s Minor League Player of the Year.

Robert continued to impress in the minors the following year, and in May 2020, he was called up to the majors. He made his MLB debut against the Kansas City Royals and immediately made an impact, hitting a home run in his second at-bat.

Throughout the shortened 2020 season, Robert played in 56 games and had a .233 batting average, 11 home runs, and 31 RBIs.

Unfortunately, in early May, he suffered a hip flexor injury that would keep him out of action for nearly three months. However, when he returned to the field in August, he picked up where he left off, hitting nine home runs and 22 RBIs in just 27 games.

Robert’s success in the 2021 season helped lead the White Sox to their first division title since 2008. He was also instrumental in the team’s postseason run, hitting two home runs and driving in six RBIs in the American League Division Series against the Houston Astros.

In just two seasons, Robert has established himself as one of the most exciting young players in MLB. His combination of speed, power, and defense make him a valuable asset to the White Sox and a potential superstar for years to come.
