Summary
Ethan Salas, the 19-year-old Padres catcher, is back in the spotlight after a back injury sidelined him last season — and now he’s crushing it in Double-A, proving his early hype wasn’t a fluke. Once compared to Hall of Famer Ivan Rodriguez and projected to debut by 19, Salas is now ranked fifth on Keith Law’s midseason Top 50 prospects list, thanks to improved contact and health. With the Padres’ catching corps struggling offensively, Salas could be the answer they’ve been waiting for — and his momentum suggests a Triple-A call-up is imminent.
