[ed. note - “First in a series on pitchers the Washington Nationals drafted in 2020.”]
WASHINGTON – “Funky” is the word that Brad Holman used to describe the delivery of Mitchell Parker several times during 2020.
A lefty drafted in the fifth round from San Jacinto junior college in Texas, Parker is 6-foot-4 and turned 21 in September.
He took part in Instructional League in West Palm Beach, Florida in October.
“He has a little bit of funk, and of course being left handed is always a bonus,” Brad Holman, the pitching coordinator in player development, told Federal Baseball.
