Briefly

Jairo Pomares has suffered setbacks in the past few seasons due to injuries, impacting his ranking in the San Francisco Giants' prospect list, where he fell to No. 41 from No. 29. While he displayed power with 12 home runs in 82 games last season, his overall performance was lackluster, highlighted by a .238 batting average and a concerning 25% strikeout rate. Pomares, who will turn 25 soon, must deliver a standout year to secure his place in the Giants' future, given his potential talent and power.
