Another strong, switch-hitting catcher with a strong showing - O'Steen shined in batting practice showing one of the heaviest barrels at the event. It's a low-effort operation from both sides, as Parker shows a slow-tempo, controlled gather and keeps his hands back as he makes his forward move to create stretch. The compact, 5-foot-11, 185 pounder reached 98.8 mph in his batting practice round and was on the barrel at a 65% clip. His receiving abilities have improved since looks last summer, and his best pop registered at a 2.00.

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.
