A product of Guantánamo, Cuba, Robert began the 2019 season at Class-A Advanced Winston-Salem before he earned a promotion to Double-A Birmingham on April 30.
Across 75 games between the Dash and Barons, Robert posted a collective .349 clip at the plate with 16 home runs, 43 extra-base hits, 53 RBI and 29 stolen bases.
