Scouting Report: Jarrett Parker, OF, Virginia (2010 Draft)
By John Klima
January 23, 2010
Jarrett Parker has some advantages for a college outfielder and professional prospect. His body type and physical projection will be beneficial for him. He won’t have one tool that will knock you out, but is the kind of guy who could develop into a servicable major league outfielder by doing several things just well enough.
