Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Anthony Franco
Age: 25 yr
Height: 6-6
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: On 40-man
Physical Description: Tall, high-waisted body. Broad shoulders with some muscle mass. Even entering age 25 season, seemingly has a little bit of room for mass in lower half.
Hit: Holds hands behind head. Toe tap. Long arms lead to a sweepy bat path; leaves him susceptible to high velocity on the inner half. Steep uphill bat path through contact. Bat leaves the hitting zone very quickly, leading to lots of swing-and-miss in the zone. Below-average bat control limits Peters' ability to cover different quadrants. Peters is patient and has a discerning feel for the strike zone; will occasionally get too far out on his front foot against offspeed stuff but isn't afraid to take pitches and work deep counts. Grade: 30
Power: Has plus-plus raw power to all fields. Uphill bat path is geared for loft. Poor bat-to-ball skills could limit in-game power a bit but Peters has 30-homer potential. Angular bat path and ability to spray balls to all fields due to significant strength and bat speed. Legit 70 raw in batting practice. Grade: 60
Field: Capable of playing anywhere in the outfield; more athletic than one would expect from a player his size. Should be average in center field, would be above-average if bumped into a corner. Grade: 50
Arm: Plus arm is sufficient to play anywhere in the outfield. Grade: 50
Run: Huge stride length leads to deceptively plus speed; accelerates quickly. Uses speed effectively in the field with great makeup time and the ability to close gaps. Moves extremely well for 6-foot-6. Grade: 60
Overall: Peters' strikeout rate probably prevents him from playing everyday. He has struck out in around 30% of plate appearances at each minor-league level, which figures to bump up a few more points against MLB pitching. It's really difficult to be an above-average hitter with that much swing and miss. But Peters does everything else well and should be a high-quality role player. He can play all throughout the outfield and has the swing plane to tap into his huge raw power.
