Josue De Paula Hits Home Run No. 7 on Sunday
Josue De Paula hit his seventh home run of the season on Sunday for High-A Great Lakes. Perhaps even more noteworthy were the three walks he collected in the contest, giving the 6-foot-3 slugger six walks in the last three games. Despite going 2-for-14 (.143) over his last five games, the 19-year-old boasted a .400 OBP, which helped him utilize his speed, as three stolen bases were recorded during that stretch as well. The Dodgers' second-ranked prospect is currently boasting a .285/.417/.511 slash line with 10 stolen bases to go along with 16 extra-base hits and a phenomenal 30:28 BB:K through 38 games. A bump to Double-A is on the horizon as there isn't much more to prove at this level, and depending on how long Dalton Rushing's stint in the majors ends up being, De Paula could be the Dodgers' top-ranked prospect before the season is out.
