On September 4, 2008, Parr made his major league debut for the Braves. Parr pitched 6 innings, allowed no runs on 2 hits, and earned his first major league victory in the Braves 2-0 win against the Washington Nationals.
Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said of his debut, "What a night he had. He's sneaky quick. He doesn't light up the radar gun, but he's got a little looping curve and a changeup. I was impressed. It's a great way to break in."
Parr current plays for the Sugar Land Skeeters of The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He became a free agent after the 2015 season.
