from baseball america:
> Ranked 53. Yilver De Paula, SS, Dominican Republic (Angels)
> De Paula is an athletic shortstop who stands out for his defense. He has quick-twitch actions and can make the flashy, acrobatic plays, but he’s also more consistent on the routine plays relative to a lot of other young shortstops. His speed and arm strength are both above-average tools. At the plate, De Paula is a switch-hitter who has a sound approach for his age to put together quality at-bats. It’s a line-drive approach with occasional doubles but doesn’t project to hit for big power.
