View Draft Report

Paroubeck attends the same high school that produced Barry Bonds, who is childhood friends with Paroubeck's father and has given Jordan private lessons all spring. Paroubeck stands out with his athletic, 6-foot-2, 185-pound build and has plenty of room in his frame to add strength. A switch-hitter, he has a loose, simple swing from both sides of the plate and has the tools to be an average hitter with above-average power potential. Paroubeck is a plus runner now but will likely slow down as he gets stronger and projects as a corner outfielder. His arm has improved this spring and now also grades out as above-average. While there is a little stiffness to Paroubeck's actions at times, when you add everything up'the size, strength, tools and Paroubeck's above-average work ethic--it's easy to see why he's a player development dream. Paroubeck is committed to Fresno State, but is not expected to end up on campus.

Top Rankings

The Padres signed Paroubeck for $650,000 as a supplemental second-round pick in 2013, though he appeared in just 34 games for the organization with a right shoulder injury. San Diego shipped him to the Braves in a six-player deal in April 2015 that landed Craig Kimbrel with the Padres and prospect Matt Wisler and a 2015 supplemental first-round pick with Atlanta. Paroubeck spent three months with the Braves, who traded him and righthander Caleb Dirks to the Dodgers July 2 for an international bonus slot valued at $249,000. What jumps out most about Paroubeck is his tremendous bat speed from both sides of the plate, with average raw power that could grow. The combination of bat quickness and strength allows him to drive the ball with authority, though he's not a pure hitter. His discipline needs to improve, and his strikeout rate will need to come down. Slowed by a hamstring injury in 2015, he is a solid athlete, but he's limited to left field, where he needs to improve the accuracy on his below-average arm and learn to take better routes. He will make his full-season debut as a 21-year-old at low Class A Great Lakes in 2016.
