The Cuban prospect the Cardinals made a push for in May 2017 is already making Class AAA look like child’s play.
Between his early-July promotion and Friday, Robert was 13 for 30 with five home runs and an absurd batting line of .433/.486/1.067. That gives him a 2019 minor-league slash line of .356/.409/.659 through 82 games (331 at-bats) since he started this season at a Class A Advanced affiliate.
The righthanded slugger has knocked 21 home runs, 23 doubles and seven triples across three minor league levels this season. He’s also robbed 32 bases. Robert’s rise has launched him to No.
