Future Watch: Luis Robert Rookie Baseball Cards, White SoxFuture Watch: Luis Robert Rookie Baseball Cards, White Sox – Luis Robert was signed as an international free agent by the Chicago White Sox in 2017. The 6-3, 185-pound outfielder has some exciting tools in his toolbox.

2019 was going to be a year of expectations for the prospect. He started the year in the Carolina League playing for Winston-Salem. In just 19 games and 75 at-bats, he had eight home runs and 24 RBI. He produced more than a run per game! With five doubles and three triples and a .453 average, he was promoted. That didn’t take long.

In Double-A, he played in 56 games for the Birmingham Barons. In 226 at-bats he hit 16 doubles, three triples, eight home runs and had 29 RBI with a .314 batting average. He added 21 steals. Once again he excelled and was promoted.

In his first 47 games with Triple-A Charlotte Knights, he had 10 doubles, five triples, 16 home runs, and 39 RBI. He was hitting .297 with seven steals.

Collectors can find his rookie card in 2019 Topps Chrome.

According to his MLB.com Prospect Profile:

Robert went from showing solid speed in Cuba to clocking sub-6.3-second 60-yard dashes during the tryout process, and even if he loses a step as he matures physically, he could be a 30-30 player. He’s still a bit raw with his reads and jumps in center field but he has the physical ability to become a solid defender up the middle with more experience. If he has to move to a corner, his strong arm and offensive profile will fit well in right field. ETA 2020.

Here’s a look at his crushing swing:

This guy is a “can’t miss” prospect and he will surely make the White Sox squad next season. He just won the USA Today Minor League Player of the Year Award. Previous winners include Alex Bregman and Ronald Acuna Jr. Carve out a spot for this future star in your collection.
