Salas Re-Enters MLB Top 100 Prospects

Catcher Ethan Salas has returned to MLB Pipeline's top 100 prospects list at the 100th spot, joining LHP Kruz Schoolcraft (No. 78) as the only two Padres prospects on the list. After missing most of last season with a back injury, Salas has shown impressive form with the Double-A Missions, working on his physical conditioning and mental approach during the offseason.

The 20-year-old prospect has gained 15-20 pounds and refined his swing, with Baseball America predicting his return to the prospect list on May 4. Salas joins other Padres prospects like Ryan Wideman, who is ranked No. 4 in the Padres system by ESPN. djcc.club
