Switch-hitting catchers are at a premium and O'Steen fits that mold. A compact, 5-foot-11, 175 pounder - Parker's best tool currently is his bat and he projects to continue to be able to produce from both sides of the plate. The swing is short and quick from both sides and O'Steen swings a heavy barrel that should allow him to hit for juice when he fully matures. Behind the dish, O'Steen is a solid receiver with average arm strength.
