2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pauley has put up impressive stats since getting drafted in the 13th round in 2022, and he surprisingly appears to be on the cusp of making the Padres' Opening Day roster. A lefty-hitting 23-year-old capable of playing the outfield and the infield, Pauley's raw power and speed grade out as average (50-grade) at best, but he's gotten the absolute most of his abilities thus far. A lot of his strong performances have come while he was older than the average prospect in a league and/or in a hitting-friendly environment, but his strikeout rate has always been below 22 percent, and he is a career .302 hitter. Pauley also gets strong reports for his makeup, and his defensive versatility will help him get at-bats. Read Past Outlooks

3BMiami Marlins  AA
July 30, 2024
The Marlins acquired Pauley, left-hander Robby Snelling, right-hander Adam Mazur and infielder Jay Beshears from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Tanner Scott and right-hander Bryan Hoeing, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old saw some action with the Padres early in the season but has spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level. Pauley went 4-for-32 with 15 strikeouts in his first taste of the majors and has also underwhelmed at Triple-A this season with a .228/.342/.390 slash line over 301 plate appearances with El Paso. He'll have a clearer path to playing time with the Marlins and could receive another look in the majors before the end of the season, but he'll likely report to Triple-A Jacksonville initially.
