MLB Prospect Scouting Report On Cleveland Guardians’ Parker Messick
Parker Messick, the Guardians' 12th best prospect, earned his MLB debut after striking out 119 batters with a 3.47 ERA for Triple-A Columbus this season.
- Today, Parker Messick will make his first big-league start for the Cleveland Guardians at Chase Field against Brandon Pfaadt, with first pitch at 3:40 p.m.
- Drafted in 2022, Parker Messick's collegiate and minor-league results prompted his promotion after posting a 3.47 ERA with 119 strikeouts in 98 2/3 Triple-A innings.

- The Guardians cast the call-up as the pitching factory debuting a new arm, highlighting Messick's 2.83 ERA and 165 strikeouts last season with Akron and Lake County.
- Within the system, Messick ranks third behind Guardians pitching prospects Khal Stephan and Braylon Doughty, while MLB Pipeline lists him as the Guardians' 12th-best prospect.
