This is a sweet pickup. Exact kind of dude Parker is known to find and turn into a top 3 round SPQuote:

Obviously, they have to be able to hit, control the running game, block, and frame pitches but the other big thing I think is the pitchers have to trust them. It may be intimidating for a freshman to catch a guy like junior year Ethan Small.
I think it's a good pick up because he can compete for a weekend spot and if he doesn't win it I could see him being a guy who we could use for multiple innings out of the bullpen potentially.Quote:

These coaches are learning that the SEC does the portal differently. I think they thought the UVA guys would just sign no questions asked and are now learning that the open market in the SEC is different.Quote:
