Career

After graduating from Clarksville High School in Clarksville, Tennessee, Parsons enrolled at Jackson State Community College. In 13 games started as a freshman, he had a 7–3 win–loss record with a 4.31 earned run average (ERA), striking out 60 in ​79 1⁄3 innings pitched.[1] After his freshman year, he played for the Thunder Bay Bordercats in the Northwoods League,[2] a summer wooden bat league for top college prospects. After making the league's All-Star game, Parsons signed with the Atlanta Braves as an undrafted free agent in 2013.[3]

Atlanta Braves

After signing, Parsons was assigned to the Rome Braves where he was 7–7 with a 2.63 ERA in 19 starts. In 2014 he pitched for the Lynchburg Hillcats, posting a 4–7 record and a 5.00 ERA in 23 starts. Parsons pitched in only five games in 2015 due to injury. He spent the majority of 2016 with the Carolina Mudcats where he was 0–2 with a 3.86 ERA in 16 games (seven starts), along with pitching one game for the Mississippi Braves. In 2017, Parsons pitched in 26 games (ten starts) for Mississippi where he compiled a 3–3 record and 2.71 ERA, and ​8 1⁄3 innings for the Gwinnett Braves where he posted an 8.64 ERA.[4] He began 2018 with Mississippi[5] and was promoted to the Gwinnett Stripers in May after pitching to a 1–2 record and a 1.23 ERA over eight games (seven starts) for Mississippi.[6]

Parsons was called up to the major leagues by Atlanta on June 27, 2018.[7] In 14 appearances, with 13 being as a starter for Gwinnett prior to his callup, he had compiled a 3–1 record and a 2.83 ERA.[8] Parsons returned to the International League without making a major league appearance.[9] He was recalled back to the Braves on August 1 for his second call up in the 2018 season. He was then optioned back to Gwinnett the following day. Parsons received another promotion on August 7,[10] and made his major league debut two days later against the Washington Nationals.[11] Parsons made the Braves' Opening Day roster at the start of the 2019 season.[12] He appeared in relief of Sean Newcomb on April 1, 2019, pitching one inning against the Chicago Cubs to earn his first major league victory.[13][14] On August 16, 2019, Parsons was designated for assignment.

Colorado Rockies

On August 19, 2019, Parsons was claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies.[15] Parsons was designated for assignment on November 27, 2019.[16] He was granted free agency on December 2, 2019, but later re-signed to a minor league deal in the offseason. He became a free agent on November 2, 2020.

NC Dinos

On January 11, 2021, Parsons signed a deal with the NC Dinos of the KBO League for $320K a year with a $80K signing bonus and a potential $200K coming from incentives.[17] On April 14, 2021, Parsons made his KBO debut, striking out six and earning the win in a start against the SSG Landers.
