during the 1892 season, cap anson, the manager of the chicago colts, offered parrott a major league baseball (mlb) contract to play with his club. parrott made his mlb debut on july 11, 1892. during that game, he stuck out twice and made two errors. he was the first player from the state of oregon to appear in an mlb game. parrott hit second in the colts' batting order for most of the season. in his first mlb season, parrott batted .201 with 38 runs scored, 67 hits, eight doubles, five triples, two home runs, 22 runs batted in (rbis), and seven stolen bases in 78 games played. he finished the season third in fielding percentage amongst national league third basemen (.891), behind billy nash and george davis. before the start of the 1893 season, "the sporting life" wrote that parrott "is somewhat of an erratic player. there are times when he plays good ball, but just when good steady play is necessary, he is very liable to get a case of 'rattles.'" however, in june, "the sporting life" changed its tune and called parrott's work at third base a "little less than brilliant". it was reported that anson was impressed by parrott as a person, calling him a "well-behaved young man" despite some criticism he was getting from the media and fans. during the 1893 season, the colts signed pitcher tom parrott, jiggs parrott's brother. "the washington post" reported that tom parrott bought out his contract with his former team so he could play with his brother in chicago. the two parrott brothers were the only two players from oregon to play in the mlb during the 19th century. jiggs parrott was moved to seventh in chicago's batting order during the year. in his second season, parrott batted .244 with 54 runs scored, 111 hits, 10 doubles, nine triples, one home run, 65 rbis, and 25 stolen bases in 110 games played. his fielding percentage at third base was the fifth highest in the national league (.904), behind jack crooks, denny lyons, george pinkney and billy nash.
