San Diego Padres catcher prospect Ethan Salas went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles for High-A Fort Wayne on Wednesday. Salas has now hit in 14 straight games and is fourth in the Midwest League with 23 doubles. Salas, 18, has been one of the most hyped prospects on the farm, but has hit just .204 on the season with four homers and 42 RBI. Although he is one of the youngest players at his level, his bat has slowed down in 2024, but scouts believe it could be due to elevating the ball more than he has in the past. Regardless, Salas should continue to grow into his body and another year at High-A could do him well. At such a young age, his potential remains very high and managers in dynasty leagues shouldn't worry at the moment.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

2 months agoThe San Diego Padres reassigned two of their top prospects, catcher Ethan Salas and shortstop Leodalis De Vries, to minor-league camp. Both were invited to spring training, but neither was expected to make the team at 18 years of age. It was surely valuable experience for both players for whom the Padres have high hopes. Salas went just 1-for-8 in Cactus League play but was able to coax five walks compared to only two strikeouts, while De Vries went 2-for-16 with a 3:5 BB:K. In 2025, Salas will look to improve upon the .206/.288/.311 slash line he posted at High-A last season. De Vries showed a bit better during his time at Single-A, slashing .237/.361/.441 with 11 homers and 13 steals in 75 games. Neither is likely to debut this season, but both belong on the dynasty radar with an expectation of a late 2026 or 2027 arrival.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

3 months agoThe San Diego Padres announced on Friday that infielder Leodalis De Vries and catcher Ethan Salas will be non-roster invites to major-league spring training this year. Per MLB Pipeline, De Vries is the No. 18 prospect in all of baseball in 2025, with Salas checking in at No. 33. Both prospects are only 18 years old, though, so nobody should be expecting them to win an Opening Day roster spot out of spring training. De Vries is a switch-hitting infielder that has a mature approach at the dish, but he needs more seasoning on the farm. He's a plus athlete and could stick at the 6 long term despite average arm strength. Salas's defensive skills are ahead of his bat heading into the 2025 season, but if he makes improvements offensively this year, he could rise quickly through San Diego's minor-league system. Both prospects are watch candidates in dynasty/keeper leagues for now.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

5 months agoSan Diego Padres catching prospect Ethan Salas went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run on Thursday, his fourth of the Arizona Fall League (AFL) campaign. Salas now has 21 RBI which is tied for third-most in the AFL, but is hitting just .228 and has a 13:27 BB:K over 23 games. Still, the 18-year-old is one of the youngest players in the AFL, competing against older, more seasoned pitchers. The youngster ranks as the Padres' top prospect and 19th in all of baseball but isn't expected to make his debut for a couple of years yet. Nevertheless, he's a strong defender already and has all the tools to make it to the big leagues with the potential to be a star, so fantasy managers should take notice.--Jarod Rupp - RotoBaller

5 months agoSan Diego Padres catching prospect Ethan Salas went 1-for-1 with a walk and two stolen bases in the 2024 Fall Stars Game. The backstop was able to swipe second and third base after drawing a lead-off walk in the third inning. At only 18 years old, Salas has been holding his own in the Arizona Fall League as he carried a solid .256/.366/.449 slash line with three home runs, six doubles, 19 RBI, and four stole bases. Last season, the top prospect in San Diego spent the entire campaign with High-A Fort Wayne and faced some growing pains as he posted an overall .206/.288/.311 line with just four home runs in 111 games. Despite his underwhelming performances last summer, Salas remains one of the top catching prospects in the sport and could spend most of the 2025 campaign with Double-A if he continues to progress during the offseason.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
