Luis Robert Promoted To Double-A
6 years agoChicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert has been promoted to Double-A Birmingham. Robert, the team's No. 4 prospect and No. 37 overall per MLB Pipeline, absolutely demolished Single-A pitching by hitting a ridiculous .453/.512/.920 with eight home runs, 24 RBI and eight stolen bases in only 19 games for High-A Winston-Salem. The Cuban native is only 21 years old but could continue rising quickly if he stays hot. He's also rising up prospect lists with his hot start. There's a good chance we don't see him in Chicago until next season, but Robert should probably already be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues for his big-time upside.
