10/14/2012 - College PREP - Sauget (St. Louis), IL Desmond is an athletic SS that will graduate in 2014. Feet are active he moves well laterally, taking proper angles as he works to get around balls and displays range in the MIF. He shows fluid action with soft / clean hands but needs to be more aggressive in playing through ground balls and improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate, flashing carry across the diamond but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Parrish shows a balanced setup with rhythm. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing with the ball jumping off his bat when centered. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more through the swing. With 2 years to further develop, Desmond has abilities with time and room to improve.
