Derek
Parola

6/5/14 - Unsigned senior currently ranked No. 137 in Illinois’ 2014 class.  Part of great up the middle duo.  Slight 6-foot-1, 160-pound frame, three sport athlete.  Three-for-five with two singles past third basemen, and a 2-RBI double to deep center.  Advanced infield actions with athletic arm.  Showed good body control attacking baseball in pregame, and fielded two in game chances cleanly.  Metz and Parola are both tough outs at the plate, and combined form a pesky one-two punch at the top of Mundelein’s order. 

5/6/14 - Currently ranked No. 137 in Illinois’ 2014 class, unsigned senior. Anyone still shopping for a middle infielder should check out Mundelein. Slight 6-foot-1, 160-pound frame, has flown under the radar because he plays three sports; apparently broke records for his three-point shooting prowess. Excellent defensive actions, athletic arm, shows ability to throw with accuracy on move, consistent hands in the field. Currently lacks strength, but has frame that should add weight in the future. High baseball IQ.

Sure-handed middle infielder was impact performer on state-ranked team as a junior
