Jesus Parra

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Milwaukee Brewers #16 prospect in 2021
  TRACK RECORD: Parra signed with the Brewers for $210,000 during the 2018 international signing period as one of the youngest players in the class. He made his pro debut in 2019 in the Dominican Summer League and hit .275/.398/.486 after the all-star break. The Brewers brought Parra to Arizona for instructional league 2020, though he was a late arrival and didn't get many at-bats.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Parra is a big, physical infielder with a patient hitting approach for his age, good bat speed and above-average raw power. His power comes with some swing-and-miss, as he struck out 26 percent of the time in the DSL, though he was also just 16 years old nearly the whole season. If he can keep his strikeout rate to a manageable level, his ability to draw walks should help keep his on-base percentage up. A below-average runner, Parra has split time between second base and third base. His range probably fits better at third base. His hands and feet work well for his size and he has a plus arm.
  
  THE FUTURE: Parra will still be 18 in 2021. He will spend most of the year at the Rookie level.

  Ranked Milwaukee Brewers #18 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: Had Parra been born 48 hours later, he would have been a July 2 international signing for the 2019 class and would have made his pro debut in 2020. Instead, Parra narrowly made the cutoff to sign in the 2018 class, so the Brewers signed him for $210,000 when he turned 16 on Aug. 30, 2018. He played his first season in the DSL as a 16-year-old and hit .275/.398/.486 after the all-star break.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Parra is a physical infielder with a promising mix of patience and power. He has above-average raw power now with the strength projection for that to potentially tick up as he gets into his prime. There is some swing-and-miss to his game—he struck out 26 percent of the time in the DSL— though that's somewhat mitigated by him being a 16-year-old in that league. His strike-zone judgment is sound, though, and he draws walks to go with his power. Parra split time between third base and second last year, with a traditional profile for third. He's a below-average runner but his hands and feet work well for his size and he can finish plays with a plus arm.
  
  THE FUTURE: Parra will head to either the Rookie-level Arizona League or the Rookie-level Pioneer League in 2020, where he will again be one of the league's youngest players for his U.S. debut.
