putting everyone on notice.

Drafted 8th overall in the 2025 MLB draft straight out of Purvis High School in Mississippi,

Parker set out last season after.

Signing.

This spring marks his pro debut and he's already turning heads in the early games.

Blue Jays fans are buzzing about this kid as their potential shortstop of the future.

His hot start has folks dreaming big, especially with that raw power showing up right away.

In 9 games, he's 9 for 33, hitting 0.273 with 4 doubles, 9 runs batted in, and 3 steals on 3 tries.

That 0.899 on base plus sluggy marks screams promise.

Parker's got a long road ahead, climbing the minors.

But if two days blasts is any sign, Toronto might have a star brewing that'll light up Rogers.

Center before we know it.
