Arizona's draft choice


This coming from his hometown paper, the Indianapolis Star.

Norwell High School pitcher Jarrod Parker was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks with the ninth overall selection in the major league draft today.

Parker is the second-highest Indiana high school player selected in the draft. Kokomo pitcher Pat Underwood was selected by Detroit with the second pick of the 1976 draft.

The right-handed Parker is 10-0 this season with a 0.12 ERA for Norwell, which is 32-0 and the state’s top-ranked team in Class 3A. He has committed to play collegiately at Georgia Tech, but now is expected to sign with the Diamondbacks.
