The second player added to the 3rd Inning Program is 2nd Half Heroes Dave Parker. This mountain of a man is a 91 overall and has relatively solid stats from both sides of the plate, plus a cannon for an arm in the corner outfield spots.
He has 98 contact vs. RHP, 85 power vs. RHP, and 90 vision. He has a 90 arm but is otherwise just okay in the field. All in all, I don’t think this will be a card that slides into tons of lineups, but he does not look like someone you need to platoon either. The power vs. LHP is not great, but if you click with Parker’s swing, he might be able to find a spot on the bench.
As it relates to the 3rd Inning Program XP, you will get 35,000 XP for collecting Dave Parker. The moments involve hitting lots of home runs, so those can go either way for folks. If you handle those, then the only other tricky mission will be getting 10 hits with 5 XBH in 6 games.
