How did Josue De Paula do in MLB debut? Stats from Dodgers-Marlins
Josue De Paula made his MLB debut for the Dodgers, replacing Shohei Ohtani. How did he do?
Josue De Paula made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 6-2 victory against the Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park on Friday, September 11. The organization's top prospect filled in for injured two-way star Shohei Ohtani as the designated hitter for the weekend series. De Paula, who is 21 years and 110 days old, had his first taste of MLB action as a 7th batter in the lineup.
He made history by becoming the youngest Dodgers player since Alex Verdugo in September 2017 and the first position player called up from the AA level without skipping AAA since Steve Sax in 1981.
De Paula's MLB debut saw him go 0-for-3 with a walk, while his minor league statistics show a strong season with the Tulsa Drillers. In 501 at-bats, he compiled a .304 batting average with 27 home runs, 106 runs, and 104 RBI.
