TRACK RECORD: The White Sox inked Comas for $425,000, on the strength of a lanky, projectable frame. His .306 batting average in the Rookie-level Arizona League in 2018 was fourth in the system, giving the organization hope that he might have gotten an early jump on translating his tools into skills.
SCOUTING REPORT: Comas still oozes with projection but didn't make the strength gains the White Sox had expected. He had a much tougher go at Rookie-level Great Falls in 2019 than he did in the complex league a season ago. Scouts from outside the organization saw a player who still has an enviable frame and above-average raw power in batting practice that doesn't translate well in games. When the lights come on, he tends to eschew the power profile he should have and instead plays like a scrappy player who should be hitting at the top of a lineup. Part of the issue, scouts said, was due to down angle in his swing that simply doesn't allow for power. He also showed a well below-average exit velocity of 81 mph. He has above-average speed and defensive skills.
THE FUTURE: Comas could move up to low Class A Kannapolis in 2020 but might be better served with more seasoning at the team's complex in Arizona. He has a corner outfielder's skills but needs to gain strength.
Track Record: Comas has put up solid numbers in his first two professional seasons, including a .306 batting average in 2018 that ranked fourth in the organization. He will require time and patience as he grows into his frame.
Scouting Report: Comas has produced solid averages and plenty of contact in his first two seasons thanks to a smooth, controlled swing from the left side. He’s got long levers, which will take some development time to learn to get in sync consistently. A slight uppercut paired with the ability to keep his barrel in the zone gives scouts reason to believe he’ll develop at least average power. He’s got natural instincts in the outfield along with an average throwing arm and slightly above-average footspeed.
The Future: Comas will be a project to develop, but his projectable body and present skills suggest a player who might be worth the wait. He’ll play all of 2019 as a 19-year-old, and should move to Rookie-level Great Falls in June.
