Jarrod Parker Promoted to Double-A
Jarrod Parker dominated the Midwest League last season and was pretty much off to a similar start in the High-A California League, going 1-0 with a 0.95 ERA and 21 strikeouts over 19 innings in four starts with the Visalia Rawhide.
The performance was good enough to land a promotion to Double-A Mobile.
Parker was in control in each start and demonstrated the competitiveness, approach and pure stuff that warranted a promotion,” D-backs farm director A.J. Hinch said. “He showed the ability to make adjustments and improved command of his secondary pitches. We had a plan to have him pitch at multiple levels this season, and his approach and performance this early in the season made it a comfortable decision.”




JARROD, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. I HAVE HEARD THAT YOU ARE DOING REALLY WELL. HOPE I CAN COME TO ALABAMA SOMETIME THIS SUMMER TO SEE YOU.
LOVE, GRANDMA
