Club career
In 2008 Pedraza began his career at the youth sector of Club Blooming. During 2011 he started training with the first team, and made his top flight debut the following year. In July 2015, he was hoping to get more playing time; he transferred to Real Potosí as he was unable to secure a place on the first team due to his inexperience.[1]
In 2023, Pedraza had his second stint with The Strongest, winning the Bolivian league title. The next year, he moved to Iraq and joined Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.[2]
In 2025, Pedraza returned to The Strongest on a two-year deal.[3]
International career
Pedraza was summoned for the Bolivian U-20 team to play in the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship.[4] He was the team captain in the four matches that Bolivia played in the first round of the tournament.[5]
He was named in Bolivia's senior squad for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ecuador in October 2015.[6]
