Ryan Parker's favorite movie is "The Sandlot." That's not surprising since the third baseman has looked like Benny Rodriguez on the field lately.
Ryan Parker, Cosby Titans

Height: 5-10               Age: 17

Position: Third base         Year: Senior

Performance: Parker went 8 for 9 with a homer, two doubles, five RBI, three runs scored and three stolen bases as Cosby beat Midlothian and Randolph Henry twice.

On being hot at the plate: "I felt like no one could really stop me. I have just been getting in the zone the last couple of weeks."

Best trait: "I think I am a really good teammate. If people are down or strikeout I try to pick them up. Even if I am having a bad game I try to stay happy because it is just a game."

Something to improve on: "Hitting for a higher average."

On Cosby's success the past two seasons: "We are just really tight as a team. A lot of it is motivation from getting beat by Deep Run in the region semis last season. We are trying to get back to regions, that's our goal."

Favorite music: "I listen to anything. Rap, R&B, Jazz, Rock. I like N.E.R.D."

Funniest teammates: "Jake Lowery, Bradley Shaban, and Will and Joe Vacca. We all make crazy jokes in school and on the field."

Favorite movie: The Sandlot

Favorite video game: MLB 2K8

Favorite class: "College composition, it is a dual enrollment class."

Future: "I'm not sure. Hopefully I will play DI baseball, hopefully some school will be there for me."
