The New York Mets surprised the MLB world by signing several high-profile players during the offseason, such as Bo Bichette and Marcus Semien. However, according to the Mets’ major league hitting director, Jeff Albert, who spoke with Max Goodman of nj.com, it’s Luis Robert Jr. who is delivering standout performances within the roster.
“Man, I don’t know how to describe it because there aren’t too many comparisons for what he can do. His tools are incredible. The physical ability is incredible,” Albert stated when discussing Robert Jr.
Robert Jr., who joined the Mets from the Chicago White Sox after a six-year tenure, is ready to demonstrate his capabilities in major league games as a center fielder.
The Mets face a challenge in integrating Robert Jr. into the lineup for the upcoming season, but his presence could complement the team’s strategy around their main hitter, Juan Soto, effectively.
