Jairo Pomares

Pomares, who received just shy of $1 million out of Cuba as part of the Giants' loaded July 2, 2018 international signing class, was old enough (turned 19 in August) to bypass the Dominican Summer League and head straight to the AZL. He broke out in a big way, showcasing an excellent feel for hitting. Pomares sprayed the ball to all fields -- he loves going the opposite way -- while striking out just 15.6% of the time. He has a lean, 6-foot-1 frame, but is not as athletic as he looks, grading out as just an average runner. Pomares also gets poor grades for his defense and will likely end up in left field. Nonetheless, he could provide enough offensive value to profile down the defensive spectrum -- one scout gave him an Eddie Rosario comp. He struggled mightily in the Northwest League (27.4 K%, 1.6 BB%), so he is not a must-hold in dynasty leagues.
