Focus Area Comments
Hitting Ability: Peterson has an odd approach at the plate, holding his bat up
by his ear and uses a two-step swing, of sorts. It may not
work at the next level.
Power: Most think it's there, but it hasn't shown itself in game performances
thus far. He is able to drive the ball to the left-center gap well.
Running Speed: He has pretty good speed, perhaps even above average.
Base Running: He's got good instincts on the bases and can even steal a few
bases.
Arm Strength: Formerly used as a pitcher, he's got a good throwing arm and can
handle playing right field in that regard.
Fielding: He's good around the bag as a first baseman.
Range: He's got enough range to handle an outfield corner and moves well at
first.
Physical Description: Peterson isn't all that big, but shows considerable
strength.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: Good all-around athlete; ability to make contact.
Weaknesses: He hasn't shown much power in games; will there be enough for him
to be a first baseman or corner outfielder?
Summary: A fairly good athlete, Peterson has shown the ability to hit for
average in college, but it's unclear whether his approach will work
at the pro level. There have been glimpses of power in BP, but not in
games, lending some to wonder if he's got enough pop to play first or
a corner outfield spot as a pro. Defensively, he's fine at either
position with enough arm for right. How much power people think he'll
develop later on could determine how quickly he gets taken.

BA scouting report: Peterson is the top prospect on a talent-laden Long Beach
State squad which could have six players drafted in the
first 10 rounds. Peterson’s strong, mature body and
outstanding hitting performance this year, following up an
excellent showing in the Cape Cod League last summer, should
make him the first Dirtbag drafted. One of the most
versatile players in the nation, the lefthanded Peterson has
the ability to play first, pitch (90 mph off the mound) or
hold down a corner outfield spot. He’s above-average
defensively at first but should run enough (though he’s
below-average) to hold down a corner outfield spot.
Peterson’s hitting mechanics are a bit out of the ordinary,
as he’s a front-foot hitter, but he generates excellent bat
speed and has a high finish that helps give him loft power.
An admirably consistent hitter, Peterson can hammer the ball
to all fields, and has cleared the deep center-field fence
at Blair Field, one of the stingiest D-1 hitter’s parks in
the country. Peterson slumps only when he chases the high in
side fastball, or when he becomes too pull oriented and
flies his head and front side open. Statistically-inclined
clubs will jump on Peterson, who was leading the Big West
Conference in on-base percentage (.495) and ranked second
in slugging. While not a prospect on the level of recent
Long Beach State hitters like Troy Tulowitzki and Evan
Longoria, Peterson is a legitimate first-two-rounds
candidate and has enough bat to be a regular at a corner
position.
