Scouting Report
- Powerful lefty bat with a broad frame. 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. ~ SoxProspects.com
- Peterson showed a somewhat crude, football-intensive approach to the game this spring, but there was no mistaking his lefthanded power potential. His speed, arm strength and athleticism that played to his advantage on the football field were obvious strengths on the baseball diamond, as well. He has expressed an eagerness to play baseball, above all else, and has stated he would prefer to begin his pro career immediately. ~ PG Crosschecker
