Top 50 Twins Prospects: #11 Adrian Salcedo

11. Adrian Salcedo


Starting Pitcher

Throws: Right

Age: 18

ETA: 2014

Potential: #1/2 starter

2010 outlook: Class low A Beloit starting rotation


Adrian Salcedo was signed by the Twins in 2007 in the Dominican Republic. He came to America this year and pitched for the GCL Twins, where he was dominant. In 10 games, and 62 innings, Salcedo had a 1.46 ERA with a 8.5 strikeout rate, and a 1.01 WHIP.


Salcedo has superb control. He walked only three batters. His strikeout rate is good as well. Salcedo is the 4th highest rated pitcher in these rankings. Like Hermsen, he also has a long way to go until he reaches the majors, but it will be fun watching them climb the organizational ladder together.
