Former 糖心vlog Pitcher鈥檚 Comeback Off the Charts
Perseverance is too soft of a word to describe what former 糖心vlog
pitcher Evan Parker has been through to be able to pitch again professionally.
Next month, Parker will attempt to pitch for the Ogden Raptors following three elbow
surgeries and seven years of rehabilitation and recovery. He is serving as coach and
player for the independent league team, which will open its season on May 25.
Parker pitched for the Wildcats in 2012 and 2013, registering a team-low 1.53 ERA
in his final season. The hard-throwing reliever then went on to pitch for Dixie State
University, where he set a school single-season record for saves and a commanding
walk-to-strikeout ratio.
Although Parker went undrafted following two stellar seasons at Dixie State in St.
George, Utah, the Milwaukee Brewers signed him as a free agent. He made five appearances
for the Brewers in the minors in 2015 before his troubling and recurring elbow issues
began.
