Luis Robert's 2019 regular-season debut was exactly the kind of thing White Sox fans wanted to see. With one exception.
They wish it had happened in the big leagues.
Robert had a huge night as Class A Winston-Salem opened its season Thursday, hitting two home runs, driving in five runs, scoring a pair of runs and drawing a walk. That's a 2.600 OPS, which is, you know, pretty good.
There's plenty of excitement over Robert, who signed a record contract as an international free agent back in 2017. He's got five-tool potential, but it's mostly been scouting reports and exhibition performances that have generated much of the hype.
