Josue De Paula addresses defensive shortcomings after Dodgers call-up

The Los Angeles Dodgers promoted Josue De Paula directly from Double-A earlier this season. The highly regarded outfielder, now the Dodgers' top prospect, acknowledges his defense as a significant area for improvement. De Paula has only made one start in the outfield, primarily serving as a designated hitter due to Shohei Ohtani's injury. The Dodgers hired Jason Heyward as a special assistant to help De Paula develop his defensive skills. There is speculation that starting next season in Triple-A might benefit De Paula's growth as a player.
