Physical Description: Average height with a well proportioned body, some room for physical projection left.
Hit: Stands mostly straight up, slight bend at his front knee. Bat and front foot are in sync pre-pitch. Upon the pitcher starting their delivery he lifts his front leg, as a timing mechanism and puts it straight down. When he swings he has noticeable loft to his swing, and is looking to put the ball in the air when he makes contact. He shows the ability to dip down and hit the low ball but can be attacked with fastballs up in the zone. He knows how to attack the pitches that are thrown, showing a good ability to turn on balls thrown inside to him and can go and slap balls the other way if pitchers decide to pitch outside to him. Grade: 55
Power: Above average bat-speed and a lofty bat-path paired with average raw strength are what Pomares brings to the plate. He shows above average power to his pull-side and still shows the ability to hit for slightly below-average power when he takes the ball the other way. I do think there is more power to come because his frame can handle to add more weight. Grade: 50
Field: As a center-fielder Pomares leaves much to be desired, he makes average reads but at times takes suboptimal routes to the ball. I do not view him as a center-fielder going forward. In a corner his suboptimal routes will be masked and the amount of ground he will have to cover is lessened allowing him to be a better fielder there. Grade: 45
Arm: Pomares has more than enough arm to play any three of the outfield spots.His throws are accurate and have enough carry. His arm is average so that means it is slightly lacking for right-field. Grade: 50
Run: As Pomares adds more muscle on his frame he is destined to slow down, but right now he is an average runner with a smooth stride, and is a bit of a threat on the basepaths as he takes good jumps. Grade: 50
Overall: Pomares combines a few average tools with an above average hit tool that will allow him to carve out some sort of role in the high minors and eventually the major leagues. There are some questions about where he ends up in the outfield ultimately, and I think he can manage to play center or right in a pinch but I think he's best utilized in left.
