Luis Robert has opposing players in awe: 'What’s he going to do? How far is he going to hit it?'

SURPRISE, Ariz. — When Luis Robert comes to the plate, you can’t take your eyes off him.

This isn’t just me talking. It seems like everybody stops. Fans, coaches, teammates, security guards, birds.

Even Robert’s opponents pause with curiosity, wondering what might happen next.

“I hear them in the dugout. They’re all at the top of the dugout when he comes up to hit, so that just tells you how they feel about him as well,” said Charlie Poe, Robert’s hitting coach here in the Arizona Fall League as well as with the Class A Winston-Salem Dash.
