Scouting Report (via Baseball America):

Parker Bridwell is a three-sport star (football, basketball, baseball) whose best days on the diamond are ahead of him. The projecteable 6-foot-3, 180-pound righthander has an 86-91 mph fastball and should improve his velocity and secondary pitches once he focuses on baseball. He also drew interest from college football programs as a quarterback. He has committed to Texas Tech.

Vitals & School:

  • Hereford HS
  • DOB: 8/2/1991
  • RHP
  • 6′ 4″
  • 187 lbs.
  • Throws: R
  • Bats: R

Overall Thoughts:

Joe Jordan has a tendency to go after athletes, and that’s exactly what Bridwell is. Like Baseball America noted, he should only get better once he starts focusing strictly on baseball. The paragraph above is all of the information available on Bridwell as a baseball player, as most of the information you’ll find on him is as a football player.
