Uncommitted Spotlight: 2025 C/2B Parker Aaron
December 20, 2023
As we wrap up the 2023 season, we now continue our coverage of the talent we've seen so far this year in Colorado with 'Uncommitted Spotlights' of the top prospects still on the board in the junior class. While there's already prospects in the class committed to programs already, there remains a slew of high-end talent still available.
These spotlights help paint a picture of the prospect with the help of our TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge systems, that provides objective data that teams use to identify and break down players they believe will fit into their system.
Today, we continue our Top Uncommitted Spotlights with a look at 2025 C/2B Parker Aaron of Horizon HS. Aaron comes with quite the toolset behind the dish as the switch-hitting catcher is actively developing. When we last saw Aaron at this year's Colorado state games he registered over a 95 mph top exit-velocity from the right-side, a 92 mph top exit-velocity from the left-side, threw 85 mph from the squat with a 1.81 top pop time, and ran a 6.94 60 yard dash. Aaron also excelled during his at-bats in the games while managing things quite well behind the plate. It is not often you get an opportunity at a thriving switch-hitting catcher which makes Aaron's uncommitted upside one to keep a close watch on heading into 2024.
