Ranking Challenges: Parker is an easy number one here, and Schlereth, a
left-hander with true closer potential, is the obvious number two. The system
drops off quickly and dramatically from there, and the fact that there are
easily ten players who one could make a decent argument for in slots eight
through eleven says more about the system's overall weakness than any kind of
depth. For example, the 11th player on this list changed six times in the past
five days.
===============================================================================
1. Jarrod Parker, RHP
DOB: 11/24/88
Height/Weight: 6-1/180
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: 1st round, 2007, Norwell HS (IN)
2008 Stats: 3.44 ERA at Low-A (117.2-113-33-117), 7.74 DERA
Last Year’s Ranking: 1
Year in Review: Last year's first-round pick got off to a slow start under a
limited workload but improved as the season wore on, striking out 39 over 33
innings with a 1.91 ERA in his last six starts.
The Good: Parker shows everything it takes to be an upper-echelon starter,
beginning with a plus fastball that sits at 91-95 mph and has touched 97. He
throws both a slider and a curveball, and while he throws the slider more
often, many scouts think that the curve has more potential as a swing-and-miss
offering. His changeup has advanced to a usable average pitch that he's
comfortable throwing to left-handed hitters. His athletic delivery is smooth
and repeatable, helping him with his command and control, which are both
outstanding for a teenager.
The Bad: While Parker has everything it takes to be a star, he rarely flashes
all aspects of that potential in the same outing. His velocity fluctuated from
plus to plus-plus for much of the season, and he had a tendency to get around
on his breaking pitches at times. He needs to work on the non-pitching parts
of his game; he has trouble fielding balls (especially bunts), and his slow
delivery makes him easy to run on.
Fun Fact: In Parker's final start of the year, he went five one-hit innings
with seven strikeouts at Fort Wayne, just a few miles from his hometown of
Ossian, Indiana.
Perfect World Projection: A number two starter with All-Star possibilities.
Glass Half Empty: Parker didn't throw as hard as he did in high school, he's
a little on the smallish side, and while the arm is good, it's not crazy
good—more of a mid-rotation type as opposed to a stud.
Path To The Big Leagues: As a young starter with impact potential, there are
no roadblocks for a prospect like Parker.
Timetable: Arizona was excited about the progress Parker made both during the
regular season and in the instructional leagues. There is some thought within
the organization that he's ready for Double-A, but he'll likely begin the year
at High-A Visalia. If things start to click, he could be ready for a big-league
look by the end of 2010.
