VIDEO: White Sox Top Prospect Luis Robert Hits Mammoth Shot Over the Batter's Eye
By Michael Luciano
Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Luis Robert has been systematically dismantling minor league pitching this season, hitting at a .350 clip with 21 home runs entering today. Robert, who is currently with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights, made sure he got all of home run No. 22, giving the Knights a 1-0 lead over the Durham Bulls when he blasted one over the batter's eye in center field.

Robert, who is hitting .356 in 17 games with Charlotte, just launched home run No. 6 as a Knight.
With each passing the 21-year-old Cuban outfielder continues to make the case that he should be up with the big league team. If he keeps doing this on a regular basis, the White Sox will find it harder and harder to keep him down in the minor leagues.
