Ethan Salas Productive For High-A Fort Wayne
3 months agoSan Diego Padres catcher prospect Ethan Salas went 2-for-4 with three RBI Wednesday for High-A Fort Wayne. The 18-year-old produced his fifth multi-hit, multi-RBI performance for Fort Wayne this season. The Padres top prospect has 22 hits and 15 RBI in August. The No. 2 catcher prospect in all of baseball, Salas has come on lately at High-A. This season, he is hitting .210/.296/.318 with four homers and 46 RBI. At just 18 years old, the numbers aren't eye-popping, but Salas is still adjusting to each new level of pro ball. The upside is sky-high for the youngster. It might be a bit before he is behind the plate for the Padres but his development will be worth following.
