Cuban prospect Luis Robert Moírán debuted in Triple-A with the Charlotte Knights through the wide door. The man from Avila hit a home run with the bases loaded in his first time at bat.

Robert, number five prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, began the campaign in advanced Class-A and has had a violent progression while maintaining his health intact.

After missing almost all of 2018, the 21-year-old entered the current campaign with the goal of staying without traveling to the injured list, as reported by Chicago White Sox GM Rick Hahm.

Their numbers are from another galaxy. Counting performances in Advanced Class-A, Double-A and Triple-A, Luis Robert has a .353 average, 18 home runs and 60 RBIs.

We just have to wait for the call to the Major Leagues, something as close as this month.

Luis Robert's night did not stop with that HR with bases loaded, the Avilanian hit another one beyond the world and totaled 5-3 for the day, two HRs, seven RBIs and two runs scored.
