Luis Robert Jr. RUN, FLY, ARRIVED AND AVOIDED Tampa Threat – Full Swing

By Guillermo Sanchez

One of the best-performing Cubans both on the Chicago White Sox team and in Major League Baseball itself, is the outfielder Louis Robert Jr..Adverts

At the offensive level before the commitment against the Tampa Bay Rays, he has a line of .218/.240/.666 with five home runs, 13 RBIs and 14 runs scored.

But his contribution when it comes to defense has also been significant for the “Windy City” franchise since in 2023 alone he has played 209.1 innings in center field with a perfect fielding percentage of .1000.

And today he had a new victim from Luis Robert Jr. It was also Tampa’s center fielder, Josh Lowe.

Luis Robert Jr. shone defensively

In the top of the third inning of the match between Tampa and Chicago, with a score of 4×1, two outs on the board and a count of 2-1, the White Sox right-hander, Dylan Cease, threw a knuckle curve to 80.2 MPH in the outer and high zone of Josh Lowe, said shot was connected at 101.5 MPH and sent 389 feet.

From the moment of departure, two things were appreciated: the belief that the aforementioned blow would be a full turn and the conviction of the Cuban outfielder to avoid the extra-base hit.

Luis Robert Jr. was fired with the contact and in an extreme condition he managed to jump, grab the ball and secure the third out with which he would close the inning of his teammate.

Oscar Colás, who was attentive to the play, accompanied his teammate and fellow countryman between celebratory smiles, directly to the White Sox clubhouse.

I leave the video for you to enjoy the wonderful play.
