Electric - that is the one word the comes to mind when describing Parker Rhodes. Wiry & athletic within a 6-foot-1, 175 pound frame, Rhodes tossed a well-executed bullpen with an arsenal full of swing-and-miss offerings. The fastball works with carry properties (16.6" avg IVB) from a low 3/4 slot (5'1" release height) at 93-94, touching 94.6 mph. The Xavier recruit showed outstanding command for spin, showing a firmer, tightly-spun slider at 84-85, along with a softer 81-82 mph curveball with similiar properties. The changeup has taken a real step up, working at 85-86 mph with a similar look to the fastball out of the hand. The arm action is electric - a loose, whippy sling with real arm speed, and his delivery is dynamic and full of athleticism. Look for Rhodes to continue to trend near the top of the class, with a chance to establish himself as a prep draft prospect.
