2024 Fantasy Outlook
Paris made his MLB debut in 2023 but struggled in his first 15 big-league games, going 4-for-40 with a 37 percent strikeout rate. It was still a strong season overall, as he had an .810 OPS with 14 homers and 44 steals at Double-A Rocket City before skipping Triple-A on his way to the majors. Zach Neto will begin the campaign as the Angels' starting shortstop after posting a .685 OPS as a rookie last season, and he'll likely need to falter further in order for Paris to receive an extended look in the big leagues in 2024.

Launches first career homer
Paris went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Astros.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old gave the Angels all the offense they would need on the afternoon when he took Hunter Brown deep in the fifth inning. It was Paris' first career big-league homer in his 26th game, and while power isn't a big part of his game, he did slug 14 home runs in 113 contests for Double-A Rocket City in 2023. Paris got the start at second base Wednesday but slid over to shortstop, and he could be looking at a longer run at the latter position if Zach Neto (elbow) winds up missing significant time.
