Colas is the only Chicago player selected for the game. He plays in the outfield for High-A Winston-Salem.
He's slashing .316/.374/.487 for the minor league team, ranking second on the team in batting average behind Colson Montgomery. He has 74 hits, 7 home runs and 42 RBIs to go along with his impressive slash numbers this season.

At 6-foot-1 and 209 pounds, he is able to move well for his size while he is adjusting to the outfield. Colas started out as a pitcher with a fastball that tapped out around 95 mph, but he's since moved to the grass.
Speaking of All-Stars, outside of Colas, the White Sox are hoping to receive the fan votes to help shortstop Tim Anderson make his way into the lineup.
