Biographical Information

Shortstop Kyren Paris was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the 2nd round of the 2019 amateur draft out of a high school in California. He gave up a commitment to attend the University of California in order to sign with the Angels. He was considered a good enough prospect that when the minor leagues were shut down as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, he was invited to be at the team's alternate training site. He was set back during the 2021 season when he missed two months of action because of a fractured fibula.

Paris was a member of the American League team at the 2023 Futures Game. He made his major league debut less than two months later, on September 1, 2023, starting at shortstop and batting 9th against the Oakland Athletics. He went 0 for 2 with a walk and a hit by pitch in a 9-2 loss. He collected his first big league hit and stolen base in a 2-1 loss to the A's the next day.
