Paredes is a hold — skill sits right at league average.

His expected wOBA is .320, just .005 above the league average of .315, and he has 587 plate appearances — well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA is .347, which looks better than the skill underneath, but the contact quality says the gap is not a talent bump. He averages 86 mph off the bat with a 28% hard-hit rate, both below league, so the surface line is running ahead of what the bat is doing. What keeps him afloat is his command of the strike zone: a 13.1% strikeout rate and a 6.6% swinging-strike rate, both well better than league. His expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample. Nothing here is unstable, and nothing here is a buy. Hold.
