09/01/2012 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Commuter) (Ages 12-14) Parker is a solid player with good mechanics. He shows good plate discipline and the ability to square the ball up. Parker has a great understanding of what it means to get into a good ready position. He gets his hands back and front foot down before the ball enters the zone. The problem is that he has a tendency to start this process too early. It creates him to start, stop, and then restart his load. If he can wait a little bit longer and have more of an aggressive load he will see his overall power improve. This will create more momentum and create him to have a more explosive movement to the ball. With a good swing path and a understanding of what he needs to do, Parker should turn out to be a strong player at the next level as he physically matures.
