Coach Partin on Parrish: "Tater has a slender, live, athletic frame with a huge left arm! Up to 88 mph for us last fall from a low 3/4 slot. Compliments his tailing middle 80's fastball with an excellent, tight spinning slider. When things are going well, it's usually lights out for opposing hitters. Versatile defender. Plays a solid outfield and handles the leather at first-base well. Can cause damage at the plate from the right-side. He's got enough juice to send balls to the seats. Sky is the limit for Tater. He started the National Championship game for us in Fort Myers, so everyone knows how highly we think of Tater. He'll spend time on the 17U and 16U team this summer."
