Jackson Peavy

2/22/25

University of Georgia commit. 6-foot-3, 178-pounds. More of the same from one of the top LHP in the state as he fastball was cooking early, running it up to 90 and sitting 89-87 throughout his outing while generating some life with zip and carry through the zone. Showed confidence and ability to land the curveball for called strikes and whiffs on demand, curveball sat 74-73 and had hitters out-front all day as he played both pitches off each other extremely well. Kept a deceptive release that had hitters confused. Gradually introduced the changeup a few times, primarily sitting 81-80 with a glove-side cut that seemed to really jam the righties in on the hands for weak pop-ups or slow-rolling ground balls. One of the more dominant outings from the weekend, pitching five innings allowing zero hits, zero runs, and collecting thirteen strikeouts. Needless to say, the three pitch sequences were working at a premium on Saturday. Going to be a fun player to watch as his career continues.

Uncommitted. Absolutely dominated from 1st pitch to last, expecting to strikeout every hitter. Peavy has very impressive body control w/ efficient, deceptive short circle AA L 3/4. He creates quick arm speed with just a flick of the wrist. Stays strong on the lower half and works his front knee stiff just after release. Confident & aggressive w/ heavy tailing FB (84-86) to both edges. Future + CB (69) sharp 2 planer w/ sweep!

A 6-foot-3, 167-pound left-handed pitcher, Peavy is long and lanky with a projectable build. Short and quick with the arm action, the big southpaw delivers from a low ¾ slot from an upright delivery with a more substantial cross over to the finish providing for some deception. Athletic on the mound, the fastball sat 83-85, touching 86 with heavy sink, and he threw to both sides of the plate effectively. The fastball received a fair number of swings and misses in the zone, and he was able to counter with a changeup of similar profile at 77-80. The curveball flashed as a swing-and-miss offering, sharp at times at 68-70, and could trend up in a hurry. Overall, Peavy presents a true starter upside, and his strong performance (4.1 innings, 8K-1BB, 2H, 2R) against a loaded lineup only made it even easier to want to follow him the rest of the summer.
