The April He Had Deserves to Be Remembered.

Kyren Paris posted a 1.309 OPS across 46 plate appearances in April 2025. That number is not a misprint — it is a hot streak on a poor team that nobody talked about because the Angels were losing regardless. The rest of the season was ordinary, but elite April production from a 22-year-old utility piece is information worth keeping.

Paris is a classic fourth outfielder profile: athletic, versatile enough to cover multiple positions, and capable of short stretches of genuinely useful offense. At $720K he costs almost nothing, and his ability to play center, left, and right field gives Suzuki genuine flexibility in late-game situations.

Low cost, real upside as a bench piece. The Angels do not need Paris to be a starter — they need him to be the guy who gets 150 PA off the bench, plays smart defense in three outfield spots, and contributes in the gaps when the regulars need rest.

The career numbers are not going to scare anyone, but context matters: Paris has barely scratched 125 MLB games total. His age-22 April was a legitimate flash of what he can be. At 23, playing for a team that needs every useful body it can find, he has real value as long as the front office does not overrate him and the manager does not overplay him.
