Jarrod Parker was 19 years old when he was drafted 9th overall in the 2007 MLB Draft to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He has a 3.68 ERA over his 3 year career and has 275 career strike outs. 
This Friday, March 31st, it was announced that Oakland Athletics pitcher Jarrod Parker went under Tommy John surgery for the second time since 2009. Parker is one of only 37 MLB pitchers to have the surgery performed on them twice. Seven of the 37 to undergo their second surgery had it done after or on June 2012, none have returned to play since.
