MLB's No. 6 prospect achieves first 25/25 season for any Dodger in 2026

Josue De Paula joined elite company Sunday all by himself.

MLB's No. 6 prospect became the first Dodgers player at any level this season to rack up at least 25 homers and 25 stolen bases. The 21-year-old outfielder slugged his 25th big fly for Double-A Tulsa in a 7-4 loss to Amarillo at ONEOK Field.

In the eighth inning, De Paula won an eight-pitch battle with righty Antonio Menendez (D-backs). The lefty hammered a low pitch deep to right field to cap a 3-for-4 performance, his third multihit game of the series.

De Paula has swatted eight homers in August, the most in any single month this season. The 65-grade hitter also boasts 60-grade power, blowing his previous career best of 12 long balls in 2025 out of the water.

Notably, De Paula only has one stolen base through 19 games this month. He swiped his most bags (nine) at the start of the season, but that also came in the month with his least number of homers (two).

With 29 steals, De Paula's one swipe away from becoming just the second member of the organization to post a 20-homer, 30-steal campaign since at least 2006 -- Joc Pederson did so in both 2013 and '14 at the upper levels of the Minors, reaching the elusive 30/30 mark during the latter season. A year later, he was a National League All-Star.

While headlining the top-ranked system, De Paula is also the top prospect on Los Angeles' farm. He's already exceeded his career high in games played in a single season by four contests with 111.
