Josue De Paula
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
De Paula's patient approach, improving impact, and strong 2026 Double-A production give him a credible path to a major-league corner-outfield role, but his defensive profile does not provide much margin if the bat stalls. The offensive ceiling is that of a productive everyday corner hitter if he sustains contact quality and turns his emerging power into consistent game production; the floor is a bat-first reserve or up-down player if better pitching exploits chase or limits his damage. Moderate physical growth and continued defensive competence in left field are the clearest routes to the second-division projection.
