Luis Robert Jr. Joins Elite 100 Home Runs, 100 Stolen Bases Club for White Sox

Luis Robert Jr., the Chicago White Sox center fielder, has joined the elite 100/100 club by achieving both 100 career home runs and 100 stolen bases, a rare milestone that places him alongside franchise greats like Ray Durham and Magglio Ordoñez. He hit his 100th home run on August 5, 2025, during a game against the Seattle Mariners, connecting with a 97.6 mph fastball in the ninth inning, despite the team's 8-3 loss. Robert’s 100th stolen base came shortly after, further highlighting his dynamic power-speed combination. Despite the White Sox struggling with a 42-70 record in 2025, Robert’s strong performance, including a .990 OPS after the All-Star break and multiple home runs, influenced the team’s decision to retain him at the trade deadline and pick up his $20 million option for 2026. His achievement underscores his role as a cornerstone for the White Sox's rebuilding efforts, especially following a challenging start to the season and his history of injuries. General manager Chris Getz emphasized Robert’s impact on the game and the team's confidence in his talent and future contributions.
