Salas Hits Triple, Breaks Youngest Record | San Diego News

Ethan Salas, the San Diego Padres’ rising prospect, is making his mark in the majors after a blistering minor league run — hitting .326 in just 24 Triple-A games before his September call-up. Though he struggled early with a 0-for-14 start, he finally broke through with a triple on Sunday, becoming the youngest player since Manny Machado to notch his first hit as a triple. Salas called it “a breath of fresh air,” and both manager Craig Stammen and Machado praised his earned promotion, highlighting his performance over hype. Machado even joked about his own triple history, underscoring how rare and special Salas’s achievement is — and the Padres are eager to see if he can translate his minor league power to the big leagues.
