Salisbury has an athletic frame with some strength in his lower half and some projection left to him. He throws from a lower three-quarters arm slot, short free arm action with some recoil, normal effort to his drop and drive delivery. Fastball was 81-83, touching 85 twice with some late boring action to armside, pitch played well up in the zone and he got a good number of swing and misses on it. Curveball was 71-73 with good armspeed and hard 11/5 break. Works very fast and pounds the strike zone, moved fastball around in and out, up and down. Struck out the side in his first inning and got quick weak contact on all three hitters in his second inning.

Salisbury is 6-1 with an athletic frame that still has some projection left to it. At the plate, he hits from the left side, quick bat, longer path but gets barrel to contact point in a hurry. Slightly uphill through contact, keeps hands inside. In the game, hammered a pair of ball to left, and swing looked best staying inside and working the other way, rolled over the one time he pulled a ball. Doubles power with a chance to have some home run pop to his pull side. Has some speed as well. On the mound, throws from a three-quarters arm slot, longer loose arm action and some effort to his delivery. Drop and drive delivery, gets under the ball a bit, doesn't create much plane. Fastball was 80-83, touching 84 with good late run. Curveball had tight, sharp 11/5 break and good armspeed, running 71-75. Threw a few down and away that were swing-and-miss pitches and dove off the table. Change-up also had heavy fade and good armspeed at 70-74. Showed feel for his three pitch mix and battled in a tough day. Salisbury is an interesting two-way prospect who definitely is intriguing on the mound and the bat has a chance too.
