Former Missoula Osprey Gerardo Parra is having quite the season in the majors so far this year. In 92 games played he has 104 hits, 7 home runs, 27 runs batted in, 6 stolen bases and is batting .285.
But Gerardo isn't the only Parra within the Diamondbacks organization. His younger brother Geordy is a currently a relief pitcher for the Missoula Osprey, and he's been finding success as well. So far on the season in 8 1/3 innings pitched Geordy hasn't given up a single run while surrendering only four hits and striking out 11 batters.
Geordy says he's enjoying his time as an Osprey and that Gerardo had good things to say about Missoula before Geordy arrived in the Garden City.
"My brother told me a lot about the team, that it was a great team, he said he loved Missoula and that it was a beautiful place, said Geordy. "He said he loved the weather here and said that the fans were great."
Gerardo gives advice to Geordy about playing baseball but when the season starts he says he prefers to stay quiet.
"I don't want to put any pressure or anything like that, said Gerardo. "I just say stay positive sometimes you pitch good sometimes you pitch bad that's baseball that's life he needs to continue working hard and that's it."
Geordy says he's proud of Gerardo and everything he's accomplishing in the majors, but there's one thing he would like to accomplish in his career.
"Of course that's my dream to eventually be able to strike him out," said Geordy. "Sometimes I can in play, but I would like to do it in a real game some day, to play against my brother and strike him out."
"He says he wants to pitch to me in a couple years I said no I can't hit him because you're my brother but you never know."
For now Geordy will keep working hard to make it to the next level in his baseball career, and perhaps one day he and Gerardo will be playing together for the Diamondbacks.
