Ethan Salas is the unquestioned catcher of the future for the San Diego Padres. I had a chance to catch up with the Padres No.1 Prospect in Arizona and talk: ➡️Swing Adjustments, Plate Discipline & more. My Interview w/ Salas ⬇️⬇️ clarkfahrenthold.substack.com/p/interview-wi…


All 6 Home Runs from Padres No.1 & No.2 Prospects Ethan Salas & Leodalis De Vries during the AFL The two 18-year-olds combined for 15 XBHs in the AFL


Worth Noting on the Padres Farm System: The "Good": ➡️4th in Contact% (73%) ➡️4th in Chase Rate (25%) The "Bad": ➡️30th in 90th percentile Exit Velo (99.6 MPH) ➡️25th in Barrel% (11.1%) Not super shocking tho as SD prioritizes pure contact over Raw Power.

Padres No.23 Prospect Romeo Sanabria doubles off the right field wall. ➡️101.4 MPH EV ➡️27 Degree Launch Angle It’s his 5th 2B in the AFL


FWIW Leodalis De Vries since joining the Padres Org. : ➡️Added 50 Pounds to his deadlift ➡️Gained 4 Pounds of Lean Muscle Dude is just 18. The 90th Percentile EV, Hard Hit%, & Power numbers are going to keep trending up.


A note on Padres Ethan Salas. He now has 6 Stolen Bases in the AFL. That is the same amount as: Marlins Andrew Pintar (60 Run Tool) Astros Quincy Hamilton (60 Run Tool) His ability on the base paths is a very underrated part of his game.

Padres No.23 Prospect Romeo Sanabria doubles to right center


Padres No.1 Prospect Ethan Salas Laces a double off the centerfield wall: ➡️104.9 MPH EV


I'd add Robert Suarez to the list of players the Padres may look to trade for the sake of reallocating funds. ➡️Due 10 Mill in 25' ➡️Player Opt-Out in 26' San Diego is stacked with bullpen depth(Adam, Estrada, Reynolds, Pena, etc.) throughout the Org, who could fill his role

Also says this in article “Preller and others in the organization maintain the Padres will continue to spend at a level that allows them to build a perennial championship contender.” Feels like they could reallocate funds by trading guys on short term deals like Arraez/Cease

The Padres and manager Mike Shildt are finalizing a two-year extension that will run through 2027. sandiegouniontribune.com/2024/11/05/dra…

Ethan Salas blasts a two-run shot to tie the game in the 8th! It's the third homer of the AFL for the @Padres' No. 1 prospect (MLB No. 19).


Padres No.1 & No.2 Prospects Ethan Salas & Leodalis De Vries today: ➡️Salas: 1-4 w/ a Stolen Base ➡️De Vries: 1-4 w/ a RBI & Stolen Base The two have combined for 29 hits in the AFL

To dumb it down: - Preller won’t be suspended or punished, not a team issue. - Altagracia suspended one year - Money allocated to Altagracia is back available - Salas nor De Vries are in any hot water here, I believe this is just Altagracia as of now.
