Acquired from the Chicago Cubs, the Detroit Tigers infield prospect has found his way all the way to AA at just 19.

With each of our top 10 prospect lists this offseason, we will have a scouting report on one player from that organization’s top 10 list. With our recent review of the Detroit Tigers, we will take a look at infielder Isaac Paredes, the Tigers #3 prospect.

Player Profile

Somehow slipping through the July 2nd scouting circles, Isaac Paredes was signed in June 2016 out of Mexico by the Chicago Cubs for $800,000. Due to being 17 already, Paredes was able to begin his career in 2016, spending most of the year in the Arizona Rookie League before being promoted up to low-A with the Midwest League South Bend team, hitting .296/.350/.425 with 14 doubles, 3 triples, a home run, and 4 steals over 50 games.

Paredes returned in 2017 to South Bend to open the season, and moved to West Michigan once the Detroit Tigers acquired him from the Cubs as part of a July trade. He hit .252/.338/.387 with 28 doubles and 11 home runs, along with 42/67 BB/K ratio over 517 plate appearances.

The Detroit Tigers plugged Paredes into high-A Lakeland in the Florida State League. He worked his way up to AA Erie over the course of the year. Overall his line was .278/.359/.456 with 28 doubles, 2 triples, 15 home runs, and a 51/76 BB/K ratio over 502 plate appearances.
