WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| De Paula is a bat-first outfielder who could develop good power. He’ll probably play the outfield corners.
2020 2021 After missing 2020 due to the pandemic, De Paula played only briefly in his debut. He saw more time at first than anywhere else, but otherwise played the outfield corners. 2022 De Paula went back to the DSL and played semi-regularly in the outfield corners. He showed pretty good power at the plate, but his walk and K rates were very bad. De Paula seems to have some power potential, but he’ll need to make far better contact to go anywhere. |
