Welcome to the Minor League Update. Every day, we tell you the latest about what happened to the prospects you care about, and maybe a few more you should. Here’s who made waves yesterday:
Hitter of the day
Aaron Parker, C, Toronto Blue Jays (Double-A New Hampshire): 3-5, 3 R, 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBI.
A sixth-round selection in 2024 out of UC Santa Barbara, Parker is enjoying a breakout offensive season in Double-A, posting an .857 OPS through his first 47 games. There’s still some swing-and-miss concerns, with the K-rate currently north of 30%, but Parker’s ability to impact the ball and defensive ability behind the dish could earn him at-bats in Toronto in the very near future.
