Oscar Colas Stats

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Oscar Colas will have every opportunity to win the starting right field job in 2023 in spring training, according to manager Pedro Grifol. The 24-year-old is the second-ranked prospect in the team's farm system, and he hit .314 with 23 home runs, 79 RBI and an .895 OPS in 117 games over three minor-league levels in 2022. Gavin Sheets, Leury Garcia and Jake Marisnick are the other options in right field, but Grifol didn't rule out the defensively challenged Eloy Jimenez factoring in as well. Otherwise, Jimenez will be the team's primary designated hitter. Colas, even if he starts the year in the minors, will be worth stashing in AL-only and deep-mixed fantasy leagues in 2023.

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday during Day 1 of MLB's General Managers Meetings that outfield prospect Oscar Colas could be an in-house option to start at right field, per the Athletic's James Fegan. AJ Pollock declined his $13 million player option Tuesday, opening an outfield spot for the team. Hahn said of the 24-year-old Colas, "But he impressed us last year and is on a real good trajectory to contribute in a meaningful way as soon as next year." Colas played at three minor league levels in 2022, slashing .314/.371/.524 with 23 home runs and 79 RBI in 526 plate appearances. A lot can happen from now until Opening Day, but Colas is a name to remember in both dynasty leagues as well as potentially redraft leagues.
