5 153 Stephen Parker 3B Brigham Young Utah
The first player likely to be selected out of the Beehive State is Brigham
Young third baseman Steve Parker, who drew glowing praise from coaches and
scouts. BYU recruiting coordinator Ryan Roberts said he likes Parker's chance
to hit in the big leagues more than any other player he's coached in his 12
years in the business. The numbers back up the rave reviews. In 205 at-bats,
Parker hit .361/.465/.595 with 13 doubles and nine home runs. He shows good
pitch recognition and strong wrists. He can drive the ball the other way with
authority and is short to the ball with a swing that spends a lot of time in
the strike zone. Parker has worked hard to improve his defense at third base,
cutting his errors in half this season. He's still likely to move off the
position, perhaps to second base, but even if he goes to first base he is a
pure enough hitter to warrant a Mark Grace comparison from one scout.

drafted 9/3/1987
SCOUTING PROFILE: With a short, quick, compact stroke and the ability to drive
balls to all fields, Parker has one of the sweetest swings around and is the
favorite to be the first player drafted in Utah on the basis of his one
exemplary tool. His hands and wrist action, in particular, stand out with
scouts. The ball jumps off his bat and he has good loft power to the pull-side,
but his pure hitting skills trump his power potential. He has put up solid, if
unspectacular numbers over the last two years, hitting .340-10-42 as a
sophomore and .361-9-34 as a junior. His infield actions are adequate and he’s
done a much better job this year of cutting his errors and making all the
routine plays, but his arm strength is fringy-average by third-base standards,
so a move to second base (or even left field or first base) could be in the
works at the next level. He may profile better there anyway with the bat if his
power doesn’t evolve.—ALLAN SIMPSON
