16-year-old catching prospect receives $5.6 million from the San Diego Padres [View all]
What a time to be alive! If he invests that money properly, he'll be in good shape for the rest of his life, whether he becomes a big league player or not.
The San Diego Padres signed 16-year-old catcher Ethan Salas of Caracas, Venezuela, to a $5.6 million bonus on Sunday, the first day of the international signing period.
Salas is the consensus top overall prospect in this year's class. The left-handed hitter is the younger brother of Jose Salas, one of the top prospects in the Miami Marlins system.
The Salas brothers have a long family history in baseball. Their father, Jose Antonio, played in the Atlanta Braves organization; their uncle, Jose Gregorio, played in the Toronto Blue Jays system; and their grandfather, Jose Gregorio, played in the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals organizations.
According to scouting reports, Ethan Salas has raw power at the plate and strong defensive skills.
