Despite a disappointing 2024 season, Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert remains a highly-regarded player. MLB Network's annual 'Top 10 Players Right Now' series highlights his past performance and potential.
MLB Network kicked off its annual ' Top 10 Players Right Now' series on Tuesday, starting with center field ers. Past performance, offensive and defensive metrics and input from the MLB Network research team were all taken into account, resulting in Seattle Mariners standout Julio Rodríguez taking hold of the top spot. Robert , 27, hit just .224 with 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 23 stolen bases, a .657 OPS and a 1.4 WAR in 2024, appearing in just 100 games due to a right hip flexor strain.
That spotty showing justifies why Robert dropped from No. 3 to No. 10 year-over-year, but he isn't that far removed from true stardom. Robert was an All-Star and Silver Slugger in 2023, batting .264 with 38 home runs, 80 RBI, 20 stolen bases, an .857 OPS and a 5.0 WAR across 145 games. And while Robert had struggled with injuries up to that point in his career, he was AL Rookie of the Year runner-up and a Gold Glove winner in 2020. Between 2020 and 2023, Robert hit .279 with an .827 OPS, averaging 33 home runs, 93 RBI, 20 stolen bases, six defensive runs saved and a 5.5 WAR per 162 games
