Luis Robert, Gold Glover

Although he looks more like an NFL tight end or linebacker than a center fielder, Luis Robert proved throughout the White Sox' recent season that appearances can be deceiving. He has won a Rawlings Gold Glove award for his defensive accomplishments this year, and it would be no surprise if he collects a few more of these trophies going forward. Robert is the first Sox outfielder to win a Gold Glove since Ken Berry in 1970 and the first Sox rookie to do so since Tommie Agee in 1966.
