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 following a historic emergence at the Triple-A level with the Charlotte Knights. Tom Haberstroh, an NBA journalist based in Charlotte, tweeted that the Cuban was the biggest rising star in the city since Kemba Walker. A leading candidate for Rookie of the Year in the 2020 MLB season, his five tools dazzled during the National Series and led him to don the team Cuba jersey before turning 20.
Very shortly afterward, 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 2019 in the Minor Leagues. This ultimately propelled him to the highest level, where he debuted this season after signing a six-year, $50 million contract.
Once the first nine scheduled matches had been concluded, his candidacy had gained traction thanks to an OPS of .979, enhanced by five extra-base hits and six runs batted in.
