BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 17% of leagues
ANALYSIS: One of the top prospects in the game, Luis Robert has risen steadily through the ranks in 2019. He opened the year at High-A, and made an emphatic case for promotion with a 1.432 OPS, eight home runs, and eight stolen bases in just 19 games. He looked more mortal at Double-A, but still hit .314/.362/.518 with eight homers and 21 steals in 56 contests. Since moving to Triple-A Charlotte, the 21-year-old has a 1.069 OPS with six homers and five steals in 19 games.
The 21-year-old is still fairly raw, as evidenced by his high whiff rates. Those contact issues have invited some concerning Lewis Brinson comparisons, though it's worth noting that Robert has moved more quickly through the minors at a younger age. In any event, Robert possesses enticing high-end skill and could make a substantial impact for fantasy owners down the stretch if promoted to the big leagues. He's an excellent stash option in many formats.
