Q&A with Louisville Commit Parker Clubb


Eliott Wilk
Central Region Operations Director

Another member of Mulvane’s record-breaking pitching staff last spring, C/RHP Parker Clubb (Louisville) is one of the top two-way prospects in the state, checking in at No. 10 in our latest senior class rankings. An intriguing follow, Clubb is loaded with tools on both sides of the ball, pairing a fastball up to 94 mph and a 2,700+ RPM slider on the mound with 102+ mph exit velocities at the plate, along with 1.89 pop times and an 81 mph arm from the crouch.

We recently had the chance to talk to Clubb about his recruitment process, along with some other fun topics, below.


Our Q&A 

Prep Baseball: What were your expectations about the recruiting process? What were you looking for out of a college program to continue your baseball career at?

Parker: I honestly had no clue what to expect especially going into it so young. I was 15 when I received my first offer and then after that things started to boom. Looking back, it was such a neat experience and I had to learn a lot very quickly. I was mainly focused on trying to find a program that could develop guys and get them on the field early.

PB: What do you like most about the program you chose, and what were the key factors in making your decision?

P: I loved the environment and the atmosphere that Louisville holds. The coaches are genuine and tell you what you need to hear. They also have an amazing track record of winning and for pumping out pro guys, especially catchers.

PB: What advice would you give to young baseball players striving to get where you are?

P: Work hard and leave nothing behind. Body language is also a huge piece of not only being an elite baseball player but is also something that coaches look for. Never get too high and never get too low. The game is hard enough so don’t make it even harder.

PB: Did location or distance from home play a factor in your decision?

P: No, the second I stepped foot on campus it felt like home and I knew that’s where I wanted to be.

PB: When did the recruiting process really start to heat up for you? Where did the school you committed to first see you play?

P: The summer after my 8th grade year. I was playing in the Junior Future Games and Louisville was there to watch. They continued to follow me and came to watch me down in Florida that fall.

PB: Was there a particular Prep Baseball tournament or showcase that helped accelerate your recruiting process? If yes, how so?

P: Yes definitely, the Junior Future Games. The amount of coaches there made it super easy to get into contact with and play in front of everyone.

PB: What other schools were on your short list before you made your final decision?

P: K-State, LSU, and Wichita State

PB: Who is the best player you have faced in your state? What about them makes for a tough opponent?

P: I have actually never faced any of them but have had the opportunity to play alongside basically everyone inside the top 20.

PB: If you could steal any tool or quality from another player in the state, what would it be and who would it be from?

P: Carson May’s power with the bat

PB: Who is the next talented young player to keep an eye on out of your high school or travel program?

P: Hays Ensley

PB: At what point in your career did you realize you were a college-caliber player and became serious about taking your game to the next level?

P: I have always thought that and had that expectation for myself. But when the calls started to come in it became a reality.

PB: What is the most memorable moment in your baseball career to this point?

P: Getting invited to an LA Angels pre draft workout this summer.

PB: Preview your high school team's season for us. How do you feel your team will be?

P: I’m extremely excited for this season. We have a stable of arms and a very well rounded line up this year. Excited to go out and compete for a state title one last time with my guys.
