Scouting Report:
Powerful lefty bat with a
broad frame. Offensively, he hits from a wide stance and generally
tracks pitches well, but off-speed pitches can give him trouble when
he's behind in the count. Great lift to his swing. Above-average
outfield arm, likely a corner OF in the pros. Above-average speed.
Overall, an excellent athlete, as Peterson excelled in both basketball
and football in addition to baseball in high school. Peterson also
pitched in high school, with a career record of 7-1 with a 0.99 ERA.
Peterson struggled with numerous injuries throughout the 2009 season,
including issues with his oblique and his shoulder.
