He made his professional debut for the DSL Angels, and played for the club in the 2012 and 2013 seasons, recording a cumulative 2.05 ERA with 59 strikeouts. He spent the 2014 season with the rookie ball Orem Owlz, registering a 1.33 ERA with 31 strikeouts in 19 appearances. He split 2015 between the Single-A Burlington Bees and the High-A Inland Empire 66ers, pitching to a cumulative 2.44 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 48 games. He split the 2016 season between Inland Empire and the Double-A Arkansas Travelers, pitching to a 3.33 ERA in 70.1 innings of work.[1]

The Angels added him to their 40-man roster after the 2016 season.[2] Paredes started 2017 with the Mobile BayBears. He was called up to the Salt Lake Bees on May 3, and later to the Angels on June 23.[3] Paredes made his MLB debut the same day, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits in 22⁄3 innings of work against the Boston Red Sox.
