Kevin Parada Drops Weight In The Offseason
According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, New York Mets catching prospect Kevin Parada dropped 15 pounds during the offseason. Parada was selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Georgia Tech. Last season, Parada got his first extended look at Double-A after logging just 14 games at that level in 2023. Across 114 games with Double-A Binghamton, the backstop posted a modest .214/.304/.359 slash line with 17 doubles and 13 home runs. He held a poor 45:153 BB:K ratio. The previous season, Parada held a solid .265/.340/.447 line at the High-A level. MLB Pipeline ranks the 23-year-old as the No. 25 prospect in the system. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status during spring training as a strong showing could help him open the season at the Triple-A level, opening the door for a 2025 MLB debut.
