9/23/18 - Rising Stars Showcase - Five-foot-2, 111-pounds, medium frame with strength in the lower half. Long limbs, large feet, and squared shoulders. Saldana showed well during batting practice where he flashes present bat speed and feel for the barrel. Consistently squared balls up to all fields from a middle approach. Keeps his hands inside the ball and projects a guy who will for average in the future. Defensively he shows smooth footwork with range to both sides. Funnels balls out front and shows clean/quick exchanges. Could incorporate lower half a little more into throws that are presently reliant on arm strength which is average at this time. Throws are accurate to the bag. Overall game projects well with continued physical maturation.
