On his way to winning a Gold Glove in 2020, White Sox center fielder Luis Robert caught fly balls hit to the left fielder so routinely that Eloy Jimenez at one point during a game in August simply stood motionless, hands clasped over his belt buckle, watching — with a “here we go again” look on his face — as Robert caught a ball that otherwise might have hit Jimenez.
It became a running joke. Who needs a left fielder when you have Robert in center?
