Ended up 2-3 with a walk and a strikeout (on an awful called third strike) - His other hit was a rocket single off the wall in right. Salas is the only position player to debut in a full-season league at 16 since at least 2006.

I was reading that Urias was still 16 when he hit the A leagues, too. But he's was not a position player. Can Salas beat him to the bigs? Urias was about 19 and 3/4 when he broke into the bigs with LA.

Urias was about 19 and 3/4 when he broke into the bigs with LA. Probably unlikely because of the position he plays. On base four times tonight, two singles and a pair of walks. Just makes it look so easy at the plate. Also had a nice defensive play.

His framing looked good in that spring league game, and he has a nice arm. But catchers usually require more seasoning then other position players.

Home runs in consecutive games for the future top prospect, currently owns a .781 OPS as the youngest player in the league by more than six months.

Baseball Prospectus just released their top 50 and they become the first publication to rank Salas inside the top ten, #8.
International prospects bust at a high rate due to the questionable hit tools and the lack of access to upper-tier pitching. Salas has quieted those concerns in Lake Elsinore, OPS'ing over 1.000 in his last 20 games.
I expect he opens 2024 in Fort Wayne and should reach Double-A sometime next year as an 18 year old. Fully believe he debuts in the bigs as a teenager, assuming health.

When he'll be in Ft Wayne is when he'd normally be eligible for the draft! Heard an interview where he said he has a younger brother who apparently is signing with Miami.

His older brother was a Marlin, too.

I'm looking forward to seeing Salas and Campusano behind the plate over Nola and Sanchez. Don't know what the hell is wrong with Nola.

Three hits tonight, including a near walkoff grand slam that hit off the top of the wall.

Perhaps our GM/President of Baseball Ops won't trade Salas.

Perhaps our GM/President of Baseball Ops won't trade Salas. If he does, it's for a top ten player in baseball. It's AJ, so you truly never know, but I would be about as surprised as I've ever been in my entire life.
