Andrew Salas Stays Hot In Florida State League
If infielders named Salas are your thing, Tuesday’s Fort Myers-Jupiter game was made for you. The Mighty Mussels suited up Jose Salas, the Marlins-turned-Twins prospect who was on a rehab assignment at Low-A. He finished the day 1-for-3 with a stolen base. On the other side, another Salas stole the show. That would be Andrew, Jose’s 17-year-old brother and the youngest player in the full-season minor leagues. He finished the day with four hits—all singles—in five trips and his sixth stolen bag of the year. The game boosted Salas’ slash line to .333/.500/.400. The average is fourth in the FSL, and the on-base percentage places third. Even with just two extra-base hits to his name, Salas, who won’t turn 18 until next March, ranks ninth in the league with a .900 OPS.
