Jose Salvador

Minor League Top Prospects

• 
  Ranked National League #20 prospect in 2019
  The fourth signee out of the Dominican Republic in 2017 to appear on this list, Salvador is a skinny, projectable lefthander who didn’t post the best numbers this summer but flashed enough stuff to excite scouts who saw him. Salvador posted a 5.05 ERA in 46.1 innings over 11 starts before getting promoted to the Pioneer League in late August. At the moment, he works with a fastball that sits in the low 90s, but evaluators believe he’ll add more to that in the future once he starts to fill out his lanky frame. He lands the pitch for strikes at will, throwing from an athletic and clean delivery that bodes well for his future command. As for secondaries, Salvador has a curveball that has the makings of a plus pitch and frequently made opposing batters look silly. He’s also flashed a changeup that could become an average offering with more usage in the future.
