The Toronto Blue Jays set their sights high in this year’s MLB Draft, grabbing JoJo Parker at No. 8 overall. Parker emerges as the top pick ever from Purvis High School, underlining just how much potential he brings to Toronto.
Parker put up dazzling numbers as a senior: .489 batting average, 13 home runs, 30 stolen bases, 64 runs scored, and 35 RBIs—impacting every facet of the game.
Not only a hitter, the 18-year-old also recorded an 8-2 record on the mound supported by a 2.77 ERA and 89 Ks, underscoring his all-around abilities.
Though he’s slated to play college baseball, the Blue Jays hope Parker’s future will be in their uniforms sooner rather than later.
