Ethan Salas Returns to MLB Top 100 Prospects

After an impressive first month with the Double-A San Antonio Missions, Salas has taken the 100th spot after being left off at the start of the season. The 20-year-old catcher has worked extensively on his physical and mental game after missing most of last season due to a back injury, reportedly gaining 15-20 pounds and refining his swing approach. xsportfeed.life

Baseball America predicted his return to the prospect list on May 4, and Salas has recently been slashing .353/.463/.810 with three homers over his last six games. His return adds to a strong start for the Padres' farm system, with Lake Elsinore Storm leading the California League South Division at 17-10.
