Kevin Parada Blasts First Double-A Home Run
1 year agoNew York Mets catcher prospect Kevin Parada went deep during his fifth appearance for Double-A Binghamton. The 2022 first-round draft pick is now slashing .253/.330/.429 with 12 home runs across 96 games between three minor league levels this season. Parada has been heralded for his exceptional offensive ability at the catcher position, featuring a 50-grade hit tool and 60-grade power. He projects as an annual 20-plus home run producer at the major league level one day, though his defense needs growth. Per MLB Pipeline, Parada is the fifth-ranked prospect in the Mets' farm system and the No. 91 prospect in baseball. There's nothing actionable for fantasy managers at this time, but Parada should become a more relevant name over the next year or two.
