Anderson Comas MLB future
Anderson Comas is currently not an MLB player. Moreover, he is currently not ranked in the White Sox’s top 30 prospects, as such, he doesn’t seem very likely to feature in the MLB right now. However, it is not entirely impossible for him to become one.
In general, all MLB prospects, no matter their age or what level of the minor leagues they play in, are constantly working towards making it to the MLB. However, most players don’t get to achieve that goal.
Interestingly, even some top prospects fail to make it into the MLB, as it is incredibly difficult. As such, it won’t be surprising if he does indeed fail to make it into the major leagues. Comas could also become of those of many low-ranked diamonds in the rough that teams have now.
