01/13/2012 - Arizona National Spring Training Parker is a first baseman with an accurate arm. In the infield, he centers the ball very well and gets on top of his throws well. His defensive abilities should continue to develop as he learns to get off the bag aggressively and starts to field the ball further out in front of his body. At the plate, he has a tall setup stays inside and direct to contact. His offensive abilities should continue to improve as he learns to loosen up and fire his backside through contact. With three more years of high school baseball remaining, Parker has the opportunity to continue to develop his skills in preparation for the next level.
