A number of highly-touted prospects are set to make the MLB debuts over the coming days and weeks, including White Sox OF Oscar Colas. The 24-year-old Colas has made the White Sox roster, and he’s to join a very talented group of outfielders in the south side of Chicago. With Colas headed up north, here’s a closer look at the Cuban outfielder.

A Look at Colas

Just one year after Oscar Colas signed with the White Sox, the 24-year-old is set to join the big club in Chicago. Colas got on the radar after a strong 2019 campaign that saw him hit 12 home runs with Softbank in the NPBL. The Cuban outfielder would defect a few months later in 2020, but would be stuck in limbo while attempting to ink a deal with a Major League club.

Colas brings an exceptional amount of raw power to the table. The 24-year-old hit 23 home runs across three levels in 2022, a year that saw him start in high-A ball and finish up in Charlotte (AAA). In total, Colas hit .314/.371/.524 between A+, AA, and AAA last year. He does have good bat-to-ball skills, but expect a fair amount of strikeouts and not many walks.

A two-way player at one point in his career, it’s not a shock that Colas owns a rather impressive arm in the outfield. That cannon should give him a strong chance to stick in right. Colas also possesses fine speed, although he’s not a burner by any means.

Colas will join a White Sox team that already has two Cuban stars in Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert Jr. Not to mention, he’ll join a franchise that has virtually become synonymous with Cuban baseball. Aside from those two, other notable Cuban-born players to suit up for the club includes Minnie Minoso, Jose Contreras, and Jose Abreu.

A Look at the White Sox Outfield

With Colas headed up to Chicago, he’s set to join an outfield that will include most likely include newcomer Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert Jr., the former of whom signed with the White Sox this past winter. Chicago also has Eloy Jimenez — who should be the regular DH again — and Gavin Sheets on the roster.

One can’t deny the talent in this outfield group, but health will be the key. Jimenez, who stayed relatively healthy in his first two full seasons, has missed more than half of Chicago’s regular season games over the past two seasons. Robert Jr. has had the same problem, as well.

If the White Sox want to be competitive alongside the Guardians and Twins, it will need its big bats to stay on the field — especially with Jose Abreu no longer a member of the Sox.
