Chicago White Sox Minor League pitcher Anderson Comas says he is gay.

Comas, 23, made the announcement in an Instagram post.

"Being a professional baseball player is the best thing that happened to me," Comas wrote, "so I just wanna say something to those people that says that gay people can not be someone in this life, well look at me I'm Gay and I'm a professional athlete so that didn't stopped me to make my dreams come true."

Comas signed with Chicago as a free agent in July 2016. He started off as an outfielder, but he was converted to a pitcher before last season.
