Parker Mushinski is a six-foot, 218 lb. left-handed reliever from Arlington, TX. Born on November 22, 1995, he was Houston’s seventh-round choice in 2017, 211th off the board. He’s the 13th to reach the majors after being taken at that spot, a fraternity led in WAR by John Farrell (7.2).
Chosen out of Texas Tech, Mushinski later signed a contract that included a $195,300 signing bonus. After graduating, he spent the rest of 2017 at Houston’s Short-Season-A Tri-City ValleyCats. He later spent 2018 with the Low-A Quad Cities River Bandits, 2019 between the rookie-level GCL Astros, the ValleyCats and the then-High-A Fayetteville Woodpeckers, and 2021 between the Double-A Corpus Christi Hooks and the Triple-A Sugar Land Skeeters.
