Salas

Salas was one of the top-ranked prospects in Miami’s system after batting .267/.356/.421 in 61 games in Low-A and .230/.319/.340 in 48 games in High-A as a 19-year-old last season. He’s probably going to wind up at second or third and he’s never going to hit for big-time power, but he’s a nice prospect with a solid chance of turning into a regular. He’ll likely open 2023 back in High-A, with a midseason promotion to Double-A possible.

That’s presumably the top prospect of the two. Salas, a switch-hitting infielder, was a big international signing in 2019, and he hit .250/.339/.384 with 33 steals for two A-ball teams as a 19-year-old last season. He’s probably not a long-term shortstop, but he’s quite promising.
