Support Joshua Parks' First Professional Season

Support My First Professional Baseball Season

Hi everyone,

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing in my first professional baseball season in the independent league, a 56-game stretch over just 60 days. This is an incredible opportunity—but it also comes with major personal costs, as players are responsible for all travel, hotels, meals, gas, and equipment. Unfortunately, the team doesn’t cover any expenses.

With half the season spent on the road, I won’t have time to work a job, so I’m reaching out for support to help make chasing my dream a reality.

My team is based in Tuscon, Arizona, where ill be living with a host family during the season. I begin my journey on May 18, traveling from my college in Colorado to Pecos, Texas for 9 days of spring training, then on to New Mexico for the season opener. To prepare, I’ve already invested in new tires for my vehicle ($500) and other car repairs ($1,200) to travel safely. These costs were a big hit, but necessary to make sure I’m ready to take on the miles ahead.

Any support—financial, shares, or words of encouragement—would mean the world to me as I take this next step in my professional baseball career.

Who knows, I may be able to pay it all back in the near future :)

Thank you!

Joshua Parks
