White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 24, 2019

When a player is promoted numerous levels in a season, it's hard to see the forest for the trees with regards to his stats. The conquered level is put behind him, and the focus is rightly placed on the task at hand.

That said, it's worth taking a step back and appreciating everything Luis Robert's done this year.

Robert hit his 14th homer for Charlotte during the Knights' doubleheader against Norfolk on Saturday, which gives him a 30-30 season in only 114 games. When combining his performances at Charlotte, Birmingham and Winston-Salem, the production is staggering:

In other round numbers, Robert's 30th homer was the 200th of the year by the Knights. Their previous high? 185.
