2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 16-year-old catcher from Venezuela, Salas is the younger brother of Marlins prospect Jose Salas and his family has a long history of churning out pro baseball players, dating back to his grandfather. He commanded the largest singing bonus ($5.6 million) of any player in the class. Salas is considered the top pure hitter in this year's international signing class, and has experience hitting 90-plus mph velocity, which is a separator compared to his peers. He is a better real-life prospect than a fantasy prospect, and he could be seen as one of the best catching prospects in the game in a couple years. Read Past Outlooks

Should open in AZ Complex League
Salas will likely begin his professional career in the Arizona Complex League, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Assistant director of player development Mike Daly said Salas will begin his career stateside, which rules out a stint in the Dominican Summer League, but he didn't definitively rule out Salas spending time with Single-A Lake Elsinore this year in his age-16/17 season. Salas turns 17 in June and has already appeared in a Cactus League game, which is evidence of just how advanced the prized international signee is. A bilingual switch hitter, Salas is as good of a real-life 16-year-old prospect as you'll find, but he is still at least several years away from the majors.
