The Detroit Tigers are watching from afar.
And third baseman Isaac Paredes — the team's No. 6 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline — continues to impress them while playing for Venados de Mazatlán in the Mexican Pacific Winter League.
Through Wednesday, the 21-year-old is 27-for-78 (.346) with two homers and 17 RBIs in 23 games, adding 13 walks to eight strikeouts. This type of offseason success bodes well for Paredes, but he still has adjustments to make before the Tigers can rely on him as an everyday infielder.

"For this kind of scenario, it's all positive," Tigers vice president of player development Dave Littlefield said.
