2024 Fantasy Outlook
In his full-season debut as an 18-year-old, 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.
