I was surprised to see that MLB Pipeline had given Luis Robert a grade of only 55 for fielding. I guess that they thought he needed work with his reads and routes? I did not see him play, except for highlights, in the minors so has he improved that much or did they not realize how much his speed would make up for his routes/reads? Although he seems like he gets a tremendous jump and reads balls really well off the bat. Is it that it is difficult to evaluate such an OF talent when they are playing in the relatively smaller minor league parks?
The most amazing thing for me about his defense so far is how he has made difficult plays look so easy. His talent is other worldly!!
Terry Francona might have given Robert the best compliment that an opposing manager can give a player..."I'd rather see him play on television."
