A minor league pitching coach for over 30 years, in 2019 Parrott was the pitching coach of the Kane County Cougars, the Class A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. This followed several years in the same position with the Hillsboro Hops. He is now a roving instructor in the D-Backs' system.
Professional career
Parrott went 15–7 with a 3.42 earned run average (ERA) and an International League-leading 146 strikeouts with the Rochester Red Wings and was named the circuit's Most Valuable Pitcher in 1977.[1] He was called up later that year by the Orioles and in three games he gave up just one earned run.
He was traded from the Orioles to the Mariners for Carlos Lopez and Tommy Moore at the Winter Meetings on December 7, 1977.[2] In 1979, Parrott won a career high 14 games for the Mariners. He also led all Seattle pitchers in wins that year. After winning Seattle's opener in 1980, Parrott lost 16 straight to finish the season at 1-16, the longest such streak of the 1980s. On March 5, 1982, he was traded by the Mariners to the Milwaukee Brewers for Thad Bosley. He never made a Major League roster after this.
In 1993 he was named to the Ventura County Sports Hall of Fame.[3]
