Player Outlook
In his full-season debut as an 18-year-old, Josue De Paula showed that his hit tool has a chance to be special and that his outfield defense might be bad enough to relegate him to designated hitter duty. He hit .284 with a 17.9 percent strikeout rate and 13.5 percent walk rate as one of the youngest hitters at Single-A, and while he didn't tap into much power (.089 ISO, two HR in 74 games), De Paula's 6-foot-3 frame suggests he will develop at least above-average power long term. He is famously the cousin of former NBA player Stephon Marbury and grew up in New York before moving to the Dominican Republic so he could sign internationally in 2022. De Paula's poor defense means there will be a lot of pressure on him to develop into an impactful hitter, and while he stole 14 bases last year, he is only a fringe-average runner who figures to slow down even further as he fills out.

  • Dodgers' Josue De Paula: Slow start for Quakes

    Rotowire
    De Paula is hitting .227 with zero home runs and a 27.3 percent strikeout rate in 24 games for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. Considering De Paula logged a 118 wRC+ in 74 games at Single-A last year, it's surprising to see him struggling to this extent (81 wRC+) in a return to the Cal League. He is 4-for-4 on stolen-base attempts and has eight doubles and two triples, but his strikeout rate is up from 17.9 percent last year and his walk rate is down from 13.5 percent to 9.1 percent.

  • Dodgers' Josue De Paula: As advertised at Single-A

    Rotowire
    De Paula is slashing .303/.374/.461 with one home run, three steals and a 13.1 percent strikeout rate in his last 22 games for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. The 6-foot-3 outfielder skipped over complex ball and was assigned directly to Single-A right after turning 18 in late May. He hit .138 with 10 strikeouts in his first eight games but has been as advertised since then. De Paula figures to eventually tap into at least plus power, so it's encouraging to see him laying the groundwork with a strong hit tool.

  • Dodgers' Josue De Paula: Leaps over complex ball

    Rotowire
    De Paula was assigned to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Tuesday. The Dodgers' best prospect with zero full-season experience entering the season, De Paula gets this assignment just days ahead of the Arizona Complex League opening. He is making the rare jump from the Dominican Summer League to Single-A without playing complex ball. The 6-foot-3 outfielder has massive power potential and showed a keen eye at the plate as a 17-year-old in the DSL (31:32 K:BB in 53 games).
