Josue De Paula Fantasy Stats

Across 19 plate appearances since making his MLB debut on September 11, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder/designated hitter Josue De Paula is hitting .143 with one home run, three RBI, two runs scored, and one stolen base. While the 21-year-old has just two hits in his first five big-league games, he's drawn five walks while striking out just twice. De Paula was having an absolutely ridiculous season at Double-A Tulsa before getting called up, slashing .303/.401/.547 with 27 home runs, 104 RBI, 106 runs scored, and 31 stolen bases across 588 plate appearances. With Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (knee, biceps) currently on the injured list, De Paula appears to be in line for everyday playing time in Los Angeles. Heading into the final few weeks of the 2026 season, De Paula's massive five-category upside makes him a must-add player in leagues where he remains available on the waiver wire.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up top outfield prospect Josue De Paula, sources told Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. De Paula will be with the team on Friday for the start of a weekend series in Miami against the Marlins. Per MLB Pipeline, De Paula is ranked as the Dodgers' top prospect and the No. 6 overall prospect in baseball in 2026. The 21-year-old from Brooklyn will make his big-league debut down the stretch after hitting a strong .302/.400/.539 with a .939 OPS, 26 home runs, 101 RBI, 31 stolen bases, and 105 runs scored in 123 games and 583 plate appearances this year for Double-A Tulsa. The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder who hits from the left side has the type of power/speed upside that could play immediately down the stretch in September, and De Paula could see regular at-bats if two-way superstar and primary designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (knee, biceps) is placed on the injured list to heal up for the playoffs. He will most likely see time in L.A.'s outfield when he plays, moving Teoscar Hernandez to the DH role if Ohtani continues to miss time with nagging injuries. There is not much time left in the fantasy baseball season, but De Paula is an intriguing name being added to a strong Dodgers offense.

Los Angeles Dodgers top outfield prospect Josue De Paula is having a very productive August at Double-A Tulsa and is looking like a top-tier dynasty prospect for fantasy leagues. The left-handed hitting outfielder is batting .300 this month with nine homers and 22 RBI to go with 24 runs scored. The 21-year-old is showing why he is valued so highly as he has dominated at Double-A this season. He has a .311 batting average on the season in 113 games at Tulsa with 26 homers and 98 RBI along with 97 runs scored and 29 stolen bases. De Paula has a five-tool skill set, and he has a 65-grade hit tool with 60-grade power. De Paula looks like he might be a year or two away from a big-league debut but looks to be one of the top dynasty league stash prospects in baseball.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Friday evening. Facing Double-A Frisco, the team's top-ranked outfield prospect (per MLB.com) went 2-for-5 with a home run. During this impressive 10-game hitting streak, the 21-year-old has held a .388/.444/.673 slash line with two doubles, three home runs, and five stolen bases. On the season, MLB.com's No. 4 overall prospect has been nothing short of dominant, carrying an elite .323/.416/.554 line with a .970 OPS, 27 doubles, 16 home runs, and 25 stolen bases. While his MLB debut is still tentatively lined up for 2027, those in dynasty leagues should feel quite comfortable rostering him as he appears to be the next budding outfield prospect in the game.

Los Angeles Dodgers top-ranked outfield prospect Josue De Paula has enjoyed an impressive first half with Double-A Tulsa this season and has put himself near the top of most prospect rankings. Last summer, De Paula spent the majority of his time with High-A before having a brief four-game taste of Double-A late in the second half. However, in 2026, the Dodgers have kept the 21-year-old with Tulsa during the entire first half. Over this 75-game stint, De Paula has posted a .318/.416/.554 slash line with 25 doubles, 15 home runs, and 22 stolen bases. Over his last 29 games, he has been even more productive, carrying a .341/.424/.643 line with a stellar 1.066 OPS. While a 2026 MLB debut is out of the question, De Paula is making a strong case to be viewed as the clear top-ranked outfield prospect in baseball.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula's bat woke up in a big way on Wednesday for Double-A Tulsa, going 4-for-5 with his first home run of the season and five RBI. The Dodgers' top-ranked prospect is now 8-for-22 (.364) through five games and has shown the patient approach that has been evident throughout his minor league career with more walks (four) than strikeouts (three) thus far. The 20-year-old has also been active on the basepaths in the early going, with two steals so far, and he was also caught stealing twice. The 6-foot-3 slugger spent nearly all of 2025 at High-A, slashing .263/.406/.421 with 12 home runs, 32 steals, and an impressive 81:86 BB:K in 98 games there. MLB's No. 12 prospect could make quick work of Double-A if he continues to perform and should see time at Triple-A this year. With his talent and trajectory, he could even be in the mix for a late-season debut, but he is not a stash candidate in redraft leagues at the moment. The youngster has the makings of a future star and could have a big fantasy impact in 2027.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula made a strong impression during his first major league camp this spring, going 9-for-24 (.375) with a 4:8 BB:K, and although he was reassigned to minor-league camp, he could still make an impact with the Dodgers this year. The team's top-ranked prospect has shown well in professional ball thus far, recording a .279/.405/.414 slash line with a keen eye (16.4 percent BB%) and a better-than-average strikeout rate (18.7 percent K%) during his time in the minors. For a guy who doesn't have a highly rated speed tool, the Dominican was aggressive on the basepaths the last two seasons, swiping 32 bags last year and 27 the year before. Furthermore, the 6-foot-3 slugger has yet to really tap into his 70-grade future value (FV) raw power grade (rated only behind known power-producers Samuel Basallo and Bryce Eldridge, who have FV power of 80, per FanGraphs), belting just 12 home runs in 2025 in 98 games at High-A. The left-handed hitter played just four games at Double-A last year, so that is where he will likely begin 2026, however, with a good showing, he could be ticketed for Triple-A by the second half, and the soon-to-be-21-year-old could be knocking on the door to the majors by September. For now, the Dodgers' top-ranked prospect is not a stash option in season-long leagues, but he's certainly a name to monitor.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula was assigned to minor-league camp on Sunday. The team's No. 1-ranked prospect (according to MLB.com) was unlikely to make the MLB roster out of spring training but was given a small taste of MLB action. During spring training, De Paula posted a strong .375/.464/.417 line across 14 games. Fantasy managers should expect the No. 15-ranked prospect in the sport to begin the 2026 regular season with Double-A Tulsa. In 2025, De Paula spent most of his season with High-A Great Lakes before earning a short four-game stint at Double-A. With High-A, De Paula posted .263/.406/.421 line with 12 home runs and eight stolen bases. While a 2026 MLB debut seems unlikely, he could be in the mix for a first-half promotion to Triple-A if he continues this trajectory.

Los Angeles Dodgers top outfield prospect Josue De Paula earned a non-roster invite to MLB spring training. The young outfielder is considered the team's top prospect on MLB.com and is quickly establishing himself as one of the top hitters in the entire minor leagues. According to MLB.com, the 20-year-old enters the 2026 regular season as the overall No. 13 prospect. Last summer, De Paula spent most of his regular season with High-A, alongside fellow budding star Zyhir Hope. At High-A, De Paula would hold a strong .263/.406/.421 line with an .827 OPS. During this 98-game stint, De Paula hit 12 home runs and swiped 32 bases. He then earned a four-game taste of Double-A, where he was unable to tally a hit. Even though De Paula is still likely one calendar year away from the major leagues, he is a top dynasty asset and could even debut at Triple-A in the second half of 2026.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Josue De Paula ended a very productive 2025 campaign and has seen his prospect stock soar over the last year. De Paula spent 98 of his 102 games with High-A Great Lakes, where he held a .264/.406/.421 lienr with an .827 OPS. He hit 16 doubles, 12 home runs, and swiped an impressive 32 bags. During this stretch, he posted a stellar 86:81 K:BB. This earned him a brief four-game stint in Double-A at the end of the campaign, where he went 0-for-18. Managers should expect De Paula to begin the 2026 campaign with Double-A Tulsa. If he can continue his current trajectory, a late-season MLB debut would not be out of the question. However, given Los Angeles' crowded infield following the signing of Kyle Tucker, De Paula may only earn the call due to a late-season injury. Even if he does not debut this season, he currently sits as MLB.com's 13th overall prospect and could enter the top 10 in the coming months. He is a high-end dynasty asset that is showing five-category potential.
