Aaron Parnell / South Johnston

OK its time. No its past time. This kid is a ball player. I got my first look at him this past HS season when we faced off with the Trojans in the second round of the state playoffs. This kid can flat out play the game. He was the player of the year in his conference as a JR. He has been outstanding all summer and fall playing for Impact baseball. The thing about Aaron is he is not flashy. He just makes plays. He gets on base and he makes things happen. The kid has versatility , he can play ss 3b 2b and no doubt the of. He has even showed alot of ability on the hill this summer and fall. And did I mention the fact that he can flat out hit. Not to mention he is a great young man from a great family. You college coaches out there need to make a move on this young man. He is a 7.0 60 sixty kid that can and has hit very good pitching. He is outstanding in the field with plenty of arm strength. And he knows how to play the game. He had a tremendous showing this weekend at Wingate. He was obviously one of the best players at the event. Like Crump someone is going to pick up a stud that should have already been taken.

 

Ditto

Coach, I couldn't agree more about Aaron. My son played with and against him several times this fall and all I can say is just he's solid as a rock. He even bull penned at the State camp two weeks ago and touched 86 on the gun as well as parking one on the soccer field over the left field fence. Spoke with him and his father at length during the weekend and they're just good people. Aaron runs well (7.0), hits for a high average with occassional power and has excellent hands and footwork anywhere in the infield. Frankly, I have seen others that have committed already that didn't impress me as much as Aaron.

 

Thats a Fact

Your last comment is a fact. Aaron is not a flashy kid. He is just a ball player with great tools and great make up. He will have opportunities at the next level. Someone is going to get a heck of a young man and a heck of a player.
