Parra pitched for the Brewers and Reds from 2007-15 as both a starter and reliever and compiled 29 wins over 322 games. He tossed only the third-ever 9 inning perfect game in Pacific Coast League history in 2007 (ironically, as we were recording on May 5, Baltimore's John Means came close to tossing a perfect game and settled for a no-hitter) in just his second Triple-A start shortly before earning his promotion to the big leagues. The left-hander battled injuries throughout his career but is still contemplating giving it one more go in Mexico this season. A really insightful look at pitching, the influence of pitching coaches and family on the life of a pro ball player.
