Josue De Paula Secures Spot On Dodgers NLDS Roster As Rookie Bat

Top outfield prospect Josue De Paula secured a spot on the Los Angeles Dodgers' NLDS roster against Atlanta just three weeks after making his MLB debut. The 21-year-old left-handed bat won the Branch Rickey Award after hitting .303 with 27 homers at Double-A and .323 in September. Praised for elite plate discipline, he will serve as a crucial lefty bench bat in his first postseason, becoming the youngest Dodgers position player in the playoffs since 1965.
