Pomares is slashing .363/.428/.676 with 12 homers, 38 RBI and 42 runs across 46 games for Low-A San Jose.

A bit of a forgotten man on the Giants' prospect list, Pomares -- who just turned 21 on Aug. 4 -- has been absolutely tearing up the Low-A West. Pomares missed the beginning of the season with a back issue, but he's been pulverizing opposing pitching ever since. Of course, there are caveats: a .445 BABIP, a 24.4 percent strikeout rate and little speed to speak of -- not to mention that he's basically repeating the level, having appeared in 14 Low-A games in 2019 before last year's minor-league season was canceled. Even so, head-turning numbers like these can't be ignored. Unless you're in a very deep dynasty league, you may want to take a wait-and-see approach with Pomares, but if he keeps hitting like this in High-A and potentially Double-A next year, the hype train will take on a lot of passengers quickly.
