GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Imagine being a corner outfielder for the White Sox, camped under a routine fly ball, when suddenly a blur comes flying past to basically grab the baseball from your glove.
That blur is Luis Robert, who at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds is built like an NFL defensive back with the elite speed of a deep-threat wide receiver. Robert also turned his seemingly left-field-line to right-field-line range into an American League Gold Glove Award as a rookie in 2020.
“Playing with Luis Robert is really fun,” said White Sox left fielder Eloy Jiménez. “Sometimes [it’s not], because he tries to catch every ball. I'm just kidding. When he won the Gold Glove, I was so happy.”
