Josue De Paula

The Seam

The Other Side of the Family — He is a Brooklyn kid from a Brooklyn basketball family — Stephon Marbury and Sebastian Telfair are cousins on his mother's side — and he is the first of them to go professional at his father's game. To do it he had to leave Brooklyn at fifteen. He reached the major leagues on September 11, at 21, having never played a game above Double-A. September 22, 2026

Scout’s note

Our engine needs 80 balls in play before a contact-quality percentile can land on Josue De Paula, and he is not there yet. What the box score shows — .323 average, 1.081 OPS across 11 MLB games since his September 11 debut — opens the conversation but cannot close it. The early signal carries weight: 0.4 WAR, only five strikeouts, and a left-handed bat out of Brooklyn that FanGraphs ranks No. 16 on its in-season board. At 21, he is 6'3" and 185 pounds, and the read is still loading.

Current signals

The read: FanGraphs has Paula No. 16 on its in-season board. He is not on a board, and no name is held off them — what is missing is sample. He plays where our signals are measured, and a percentile lands at 80 balls in play.

A market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s.

The Wire

△ On the field: Josue De Paula lands on Dodgers NLDS roster; Juan Soto is a huge fan of the prospect's shuffle.
