LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers prospect Isaac Paredes will celebrate his 21st birthday on Tuesday, which is significant for several reasons.

First of all, it’s a reminder that even though he’s been in the Tigers system for four seasons, he is still young.

Second, it's a sign he is also starting to mature, on the field and off.
