Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jake Boes
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 6
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Tall, lanky frame. Trim with sloped shoulders; long arms and legs with a high waist. Lacks definition throughout; near physical projection but not likely to add more than 10-15 more lbs.
Delivery & Mechanics: Slings from a high 3/4 arm slot with moderate effort; delivery lacks consistent release point and timing. Hides the ball well and generates deception with extension. No fall off on the followthrough. Ball exits the hand nicely; delivery most consistent when the body stays linear toward the plate.
Fastball: 89-92 t94 with two variations in the same velocity band; two-seamer shows riding life similar to a conventional four-seam fastball; four-seamer has cutting action consistently yielding soft contact. Consistency with delivery would help command; overall a fringy offering with potential for average given his impressive movement. Grade: 45
Curveball: 76-78 with sweeping, slurvy action; flashes above-average but sits below average; slows arm and motion; lacks depth necessary to generate consistent swings and misses. Grade: 40
Changeup: Sits 81 with fading action; shows feel but lacks depth; enhances and compliments fastball well. Despite below average movement, fade and feel helps the pitch play up. Grade: 45
Control and Command: Above-average control with fringy command; fills the zone with all three pitches but inconsistencies with motion hinder command, especially with the curveball. Control: 55 | Command: 45
Overall: Acquired as part of the deal that sent Bundy across the country, Peek has the chance to be a touch-and-feel starter to finesse his way through lineups. While he won't overpower or dominate, if he is able to lean on his fastball/change-up complimentary offerings, there is a chance for a long relief or spot starter role. More than likely, it's an emergency up-and-down arm.
