JoJo Parker was selected with the eighth overall pick in the MLB draft by the Jays. He is a shortstop from Purvis High School, Missouri. At almost 19 years old, he is recognized for having one of the best hitting abilities among high school players, showing exceptional contact rates. Facing tough competition in Purvis helped demonstrate his skills, although it made scouting him more challenging. While there are questions about his ability to play shortstop at the professional level, he is anticipated to excel at third or second base and has significant potential.
Parker could become the gem of this class as he had one of the best hit tools in the high school class, with exceptional contact rates.
Competition faced by Parker and his twin brother Jacob in Purvis, Mississippi, made it tougher to scout him than most players this spring.
Despite the uncertainty of sticking at shortstop, Parker is expected to be above average at third or second base.
With the right help at the plate, Parker could rank among the top 3 players in the class.
