Joseph 'JoJo' Parker is a left-handed hitting prep infielder out of Mississippi who lit up the summer showcase circuit and has steadily moved up boards this spring. It's a big league type frame at 6'2, 200 pounds. Parker starts with a narrow base and has a smooth quiet load as he strides into his swing. It's a good looking operation from the left side of the plate and Parker has shown a refined hit tool to go with some emerging power.

While his other tools are mostly average. He'll have a chance to stick at shortstop in the short to medium term, but might end up moving to another position on the dirt. Even if he moves off shortstop, this is a profile that has rocketed up draft boards due to the level of confidence and polish present in his hit tool. There aren't many strong hit/power prep profiles in this class, at least not with the level of certainty most evaluators seem to assign to Parker. His name has been mentioned as high as the top five as of this report. Joseph's twin brother Jacob will also likely be a top 100 profile in this class.
