Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is going to have a very long, very successful career in the big leagues. There will be towering home runs accompanied by bat flips, there will be web gems. The 22-year-old Cuban is expected to be a highlight factory.
This play from Wednesday night, however, won’t be making Robert’s career highlight tape when it’s all said and done.
