Overall: Jose Salas signed with the Marlins for $2.8 million in 2019, and the Venezuelan infield prospect was considered one of the more exciting prospects in the class due to his plus power projection and his enticing 6'2" frame. There's room for considerable weight here and he could be a 25-30 homer bat at second base. If the frame expands like I think it should he will likely be limited to second base but that bat is what will carry the profile. He's an above-average athlete at present and his hands are good enough to keep him up the middle. He has some length to the swing and will strikeout, but that doesn't matter as much if he can tap into the power.
