JoJo Parker delivers RBI double in Futures Game

Syndication: The Clarion-Ledger

JoJo Parker

TOR Shortstop

Player Stats

JoJo Parker scalded an RBI double on Sunday in the All-Star Futures Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

Parker missed a two-run homer in the seventh inning by a matter of feet as he turned on a 101-mph heater from hard-throwing righty Miguel Sime Jr. to give the American League a commanding 5-1 lead in the final frame. He came around to score on a single from Ralphy Velazquez a couple batters later. The 19-year-old shortstop has blossomed into Toronto’s top prospect and figures to pair with Arjun Nimmala to create a formidable infield tandem down the road.

TOR Shortstop

Blue Jays signed first-round pick JoJo Parker to a contract with a $6,200,000 signing bonus.

It’s a bit under the recommended slot value of $6.81M for the eighth overall selection in the draft. Parker is an 18-year-old shortstop out of Purvis HS (MS) with projectable power and a strong hit tool, giving him all the makings of a viable fantasy asset in the future. He’s several years away from being an option to help out the Jays at the big league level however.
JoJo Parker

TOR Shortstop

Blue Jays selected Purvis HS (MS) SS JoJo Parker with the No. 8 selection of the 2025 MLB Draft.

Parker’s twin brother Jacob also has a chance to go relatively high in this draft, but JoJo is the one who offers the potential to be a fantasy star in the coming years. The left-handed hitting shortstop has a smooth swing from the left side, and has a chance to be a major contributor in both the average and power category in the coming years. He’s not a great athlete, so his chances of staying at shortstop are far from guaranteed. Because he has a chance to get on at a high clip while providing pop, however, that bat can play at several positions. Parker will need time as most prep hitters do, but he could hit in the middle of an order someday; likely near the end of the current decade.

Ildemaro Vargas went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI as the Diamondbacks topped the Dodgers 5-3 on Sunday.

Vargas doubled and scored in the fifth. In the sixth, he hit what should have been another double on a drive into the right field corner, but either because he thought it was a homer or that it was going foul, he didn’t run out of the box and then was thrown out at first base after a wide turn towards second. It still drove in the go-ahead run in what had been a 3-3 tie, and it gave him just his second multihit game since May 19.

Mitch Bratt gave up three runs in three innings in his emergency start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Bratt was called up after it was revealed Saturday that Zac Gallen was being scratched. He struck out none and walked three today, throwing just 29 of his 58 pitches for strikes. The Diamondbacks, though, wound up winning 5-3 anyway, as six relievers all pitched scoreless innings behind him. It’s unclear if Bratt will stick around and start the second half in the rotation or return to Triple-A.

Paul Sewald recorded his 22nd save with a perfect ninth Sunday against the Dodgers.

Even with his 4.24 ERA, Sewald has saved the Diamondbacks’ bacon by going 22-for-23 in save chances this year. The team will likely be a buyer at the deadline, but it’s highly unlikely that it’ll be targeting a closer upgrade. Starting pitching, on the other hand, seems like a big need.

Emmet Sheehan surrendered three runs — one earned — in 5 1/3 innings Sunday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

After four scoreless frames, Sheehan was let down by his defense while giving up two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth. The Dodgers probably would have used a quicker hook with Sheehan today if not for the bullpen game Friday. As per usual, his velocity waned as the game went on; he averaged 95.6 mph with his fastball in the first but was down to 93.8 mph in the fifth and 92.8 mph in the sixth. There’s going to be a good argument for putting him in the pen once Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow return, but he should stay in the rotation for now.

Shohei Ohtani homered and doubled for the Dodgers’ only extra-base hits in Sunday’s loss to the Diamondbacks.

The homer came on the first pitch of the bottom of the first, giving him nine leadoff homers this season. Ohtani was scheduled to have his left knee drained after the game. He’ll sit out the All-Star Game, but he’ll probably be in the lineup when play resumes Friday.

Teoscar Hernández struck out three times and walked once Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

It’s Hernández’s fourth straight hitless game. He was swinging the bat really well in the couple of weeks leading up his hamstring injury at the end of May, but since returning, he’s 4-for-41 with one homer and no other extra-base hits. Given the quality of his defense, he needs to do considerably better than his current .243/.319/.387 line to justify regular playing time on a team as strong as the Dodgers are.
