Peterson

07.17.18
Long levered, high-waisted, projectable frame that is still developing.  6-foot-2, 160-pounds. Peterson controlled the bat well in batting practice with an inside-out path and hit the ball consistently to the opposite field, posted 83 mph exit velo.  The left-hander has an athletic stance with looseness and rhythm in his hands, has a small load back into his back leg, gets plenty of separation in his hands by keeping his hands back and loading into his left scap, he takes a low leg kick stride, his body works in sync and he is strong at the point of contact to create an easy swing that is level through the zone with extension, and he also has a smooth loose finish.  He handled the bat well in BP. In the outfield he has a fluid approach in his footwork, he closes ground with controlled aggression, and he has a loose over-the-top arm action. Topped out at 79 mph and made low throws to the plate. Ran a 7.37 laser-timed 60.

Peterson has a long-limbed, high-waisted, projectable frame at 6-foot, 145-pounds, with plenty of room to add strength in the coming years. The left-handed hitter shows rhythm and balance with a fluid hack and more bat speed and power to come in the future. He starts from a slightly open open stance, then rocks back with a simple-smooth load as he triggers his hands back, landing into a soft stride with good separation. His hands work well through the zone with a flat path and strength at contact (80 mph exit velo) and loose finish of the barrel. Took a solid round of batting practice with bullets from the middle to opposite field side, but still turned on a couple balls to elevate to the pull side. During the game, he did a nice job staying on the ball when he singled sharply through the left side vs. a LHP. In the outfield, Peterson plays through the ball with rhythm, and made accurate throws from a high-¾ slot with a long arm swing at 76 mph.
