The young Dominican prospect Josu\u00e9 De Paula dazzled at Truist Park, leading the National League to victory in the 2025 Futures Game.\n\nDe Paula, star gardener for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award after hitting an impressive three-run home run, sealing the 4-2 victory over the American League.\n\nDe Paula&#8217;s hit, connected to a 79.5 mph slider from left-handed pitcher Noah Schultz (White Sox) in the fourth inning, was crucial to overcome a 2-0 deficit and secure the victory for his league, marking his third consecutive win in this prestigious event.\n\nWith Dominican and African-American roots, De Paula has a family connection to professional basketball, being a second cousin of former NBA players Stephon Marbury and Sebastian Telfair.\n\nCurrently playing with the Great Lakes Loons (Class A), De Paula shows an outstanding offensive performance with a .265\/.409\/.425 line, including 10 home runs and 26 stolen bases in 78 games.\n\nOther prospects also shined in the encounter. Owen Caissie (Cubs) hit a run-scoring double and LuJames Groover (D-backs) had an outstanding performance. For the American League, Josu\u00e9 Brice\u00f1o (Tigers) and Sebastian Walcott (Rangers) also contributed with runs.\n\nIn the mound, Jurrangelo Cijntje (Mariners), JR Ritchie (Braves) and Trent Harris (Giants) added important strikeouts.\n\nThe Futures Game has been a springboard for future MLB legends, such as Miguel Cabrera, Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Mookie Betts, Aaron Judge, and Elly De La Cruz. Josu\u00e9 De Paula now joins this list, solidifying his position as one of baseball&#8217;s great prospects.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josu\u00e9 De Paula Crowned MVP in the Future Stars Game Atlanta, USA.
