Despite this exceedingly small sample size, Salazar managed to rank 37th (in positive impact) out of Houston’s 55 players to appear with the team through the season.
Salazar is a five-foot-eight, 198 lb. backstop from Hermosillo, MX. A University of Arizona alum, the Astros made him their seventh-round choice in 2018.
Before getting into the nuts and bolts of Salazar’s position in this here “countdown,” just a bit of housekeeping:
I used OPS+ multiplied by plate appearances for hitters, and ERA+ multiplied by batters faced for pitchers. I ordered the Astros based on the total product from each.
