Sorry for the large gap in content. I was out in NY seeing family and oddly enough there were no teams from the North West League in upstate New York. The Em’s start a big homestand in 2 days and thus content will begin to pour back into the site.
Until that time enjoy an article of mine I wrote for PadresProspects.com about Eugene SS Jace Peterson. It is a much deeper analysis of the talented short stop than I posted here. Be ready to be hit with some knowledge and mind blowing insight. At the very least its a fun read
Name: Jace Peterson
Report Date: 2011 NWL Season (Eugene Emeralds – Rookie Level)
Age: 21
Birthplace: Moss Bluff, La
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 200
Bats: L
Throws: R
Overview: The athletically gifted Peterson consistently shows why he was a compensation round – 58th overall – pick for the Padres in 2011. A raw player, Peterson is still learning the ins and outs of the game both in the field and at the plate. He is a high ceiling player whose overall progression depends on when, and if, he is able to transition from an athlete who plays baseball to an athletic baseball player.
Physical Attributes: Peterson is one of those guys who just looks good wearing a baseball uniform. He has a very athletic build, which should come as no surprise as he was also a wide receiver in college. There is some room for growth left on his frame, but no more than 5-10 lbs. His past days as a wide receiver are evident when watching him run. He has an average arm and a tick above average bat speed both of which show room for growth as he gets more time on the diamond.
