Scouting Report

2025

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 55 | Run: 60 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45

Tomas appeared headed toward a deal with the Marlins until they overhauled their international scouting department last summer, around the same time that he hit a growth spurt and shot up to a super-projectable 6-foot-2. The Cubs found enough money remaining in their bonus pool to sign him for $1.1 million out of the Dominican Republic. He's 17 years old and a long way from the Majors, but he might have the highest ceiling in the system with the possibility of plus tools across the board once he's fully developed.

One scout called Tomas a potential Elly De La Cruz, and Tomas has that starter tool kit, as well as the switch-hitting ability. He features electric bat speed, hits balls exceptionally hard and his lanky frame has the room to add a lot more strength. Though his size creates some natural length to his swing, he has a relatively controlled stroke and approach at the plate.

Tomas has plus speed and solid arm strength, and both of those tools could get better as he matures physically. He has 30-30 upside and the twitchy athleticism and solid arm strength to play anywhere on the diamond. Chicago believes he'll be able to play a solid shortstop, and if not, he could make for a dynamic center fielder.
