He was signed by San Diego Padres scout Israel Rojas in February 2015.

In 2016, he improved to .302/.444/.353 while fielding .959 at SS and .944 at 2B.

In 2017, he batted .236/.346/.324 for the DSL Padres, now playing mostly third, where he fielded .952. He split 2018 between the AZL Padres (.262/.375/.308 in 29 G) and Lake Elsinore Storm (6 for 40, 2 2B, 3B, 7 BB). He had hit .228/.365/.289 in 192 games in the minors, with 109 walks.

Luis was 2 for 9 with a walk, HBP and run for the Dominican Republic in the 2021 U-23 Baseball World Cup. When the Dominicans won Gold in the 2022 Bolivarian Games, he was an excellent 6-for-9 with a double, hit-by-pitch, four runs and a RBI, handling 13 chances error-free at 2B, splitting the position with Ricardo Andújar. Despite his part-time role, he tied for 5th in the Games in hits and tied Luis Espinal for the best average (neither qualified; Stanley Javier led qualifiers).
