Luis Robert Moirán is a professional Cuban baseball player who plays as an outfielder for the Chicago White Sox. He bats and throws right-handed, stands 188 cm tall, and weighs 95 kg. He was born on August 3, 1997, in Ciego de Ávila, Cuba
In 2019, he became the sensation of the Minor Leagues after a historic breakout at the Triple-A level with the Charlotte Knights. Tom Haberstroh, an NBA journalist based in Charlotte, tweeted that the Cuban was the biggest emerging star in the city since Kemba Walker. A leading candidate for Rookie of the Year in the 2020 Major League season, his five tools dazzled in the National Series and led him to wear the team Cuba jersey before turning 20.
Very shortly after, in November 2016, he emigrated to the United States and was quickly signed by the White Sox, who watched him develop until he achieved 30/30 in the Minor Leagues in 2019. This ultimately propelled him to the highest level, where he debuted this season after signing a six-year, 50 million dollar contract.
Once the first nine scheduled matches had been played, his candidacy had gained momentum thanks to an OPS of .979, complemented by five extra-base hits and six runs batted in.
