JoJo Parker Hits First Pro HR

It's April 15th.

Welcome in, this is Toronto Blue Jays News today, where your team meets AI, I'm Corey

with the story.

Jojo Parker, the 8th overall pick from the 2025 draft, just hit his first professional

home run for the Blue Jays single A Dunedin squad.

This 19-year-old shortstop, their number 2 prospect, and number 40 on MLB Pipelines list,

crushed it earlier this week against Clearwater.

He smoked a 3-2 pitch, with two outs in the 7th inning, sending it deep to right field

at a 108.3-mouse-prower exit, velocity.

The ball cleared a building beyond the fence for a two-run shot in a 9-7 loss.

Parker went one for five that night with three strikeouts in a fielders' choice, but

that Homer stretched his hitting streak to seven games after, starting hitless in his first

two pro outings.

Fans and scouts are buzzing about his lefty power, rated 55-grade potential, as he builds

on an early slash line of 273 over, 415 over 485, including four doubles.

With momentum like this right out the gate in the 2026 season, Parker's already proving

why the Blue Jays bet big on him, this kid climbed.
