After two seasons in the Dominican Summer League and then a so-so debut in the U.S. in 2015, Justo was far from a hot topic. He compiled a 5.45 ERA in those two DSL years then walked more batters than he struck out in 2015. However, Salvador opened eyes at low Class A Asheville in 2016. In 38 appearances he had a 1.23 ERA and struck out 34 batters, using a fastball that hit 100 mph and sat 95-97. His heater also showed hard sinking action. He has command of a hard sinker and will throw a changeup. Below-average command can be addressed with a minor adjustments to his release point. Salvador also needs to earn confidence before he can step in as a back-end of the game stopper, and he will try to build that at high Class A Lancaster in 2017.
