Ethan Salas Set to Become Youngest Catcher in MLB Postseason History

San Diego Padres 20-year-old prospect Ethan Salas is set to become the youngest postseason catcher in MLB history after starting Game 2 against the Chicago Cubs. Signed for $5.6 million in 2023, Salas went 10-for-24 down the stretch following his September call-up. Catching veteran Nick Pivetta and batting seventh against righty Kevin Gausman, the left-handed hitter earns the nod as San Diego seeks to advance to the ALDS.
