And yes, he's only 21.
Robert has been nothing short of spectacular in the minor leagues this season. He is currently sporting a .349/.401/.618 stat-line, to go along with 16 homers and 53 RBI in 75 games of Single and Double-A ball.
It's only a matter of time before you see Robert at the MLB level.
