Josue De Paula went 2-for-4 with two singles and a pair of stolen bases on Tuesday for High-A Great Lakes. It is the fifth multi-hit effort in his last seven games, and the 19-year-old now boasts a .301/.419/.528 slash line with six home runs, seven stolen bases, and a 25:24 K:BB through 33 games this season. With
Roki Sasaki's graduation from the prospect ranks, the left-handed slugger moved up to the second-ranked prospect in the Dodgers' farm system and rose slightly on MLB.com's latest refresh of their top prospects list, going from No. 35 to No. 33 overall. With an advanced contact and power profile to go along with a keen eye and ability to steal bases, the 6-foot-3 slugger looks like a future multi-category contributor and should make a run at a major-league debut next season.

Josue De Paula is off to a great start at High-A Great Lakes, now hitting .288 after a 2-for-4 day at the plate on Thursday. For the season, the left-handed slugger owns a fantastic .912 OPS thanks to seven doubles, a triple, and four home runs, along with a 23:19 BB:K. The Dodgers' second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 35) has also tallied five steals in 28 games. Not too shabby for a 19-year-old, who appears to be well on his way to a promotion to Double-A in the near future. The 6-foot-3 slugger has always displayed a keen eye at the plate, he stole 27 bags in 2024, and has 60-grade hit and power tools according to MLB.com, giving fantasy managers plenty to be excited about. Dynasty managers need to keep a close eye on him, if not already stashing the youngster, as he could reach the majors as early as next season with the opportunity to hit in a potent Dodger lineup.

Josue De Paula was sent to minor-league camp. De Paula is one of the top bats in the Dodger system. During his time in spring training, De Paula held a stellar .444/.615/.556 with one double and a 3:2 BB:K ratio. Last season, De Paula spent time with Single and High-A. In 55 games with Single-A Rancho, De Paula held a .279/.388/.447 slash line with 11 doubles, six home runs, and 14 stolen bases. He then earned a taste of High-A where he took a slight step back as he posted a .254/.422/.356 line. There, the 19-year-old only went deep four times across 52 games but showed a strong eye at the plate with a 50:38 BB:K ratio. Dynasty managers should continue to monitor his development as he should have a good opportunity to spend most of the 2025 season at the Double-A level.

Josue De Paula landed at 64 on MLB.com's July re-rank, and after the latest reshuffle, the 19-year-old now sits at 49th overall. The Dodgers' No. 2 prospect posted a a solid .274-8-47-49-18 line over his first 71 games this season between Single-A and High-A before a brutal 10-game stretch where the left-handed hitter went 2-for-34 (.059). The Brooklyn-born outfielder has finally started to turn it around as of late, collecting at least one hit in four of the last five games. De Paula projects to be a solid contact hitter with big power and some speed. With the makings of a valuable fantasy asset, dynasty managers should be all over him.
