David Peterson wasn’t really on anyone’s draft radar until about midway through the 2017 college season. From out of nowhere, he showed up due to an impressive strikeout to walk ratio (140 to 15) and became the University of Oregon’s Friday starter. I did have the privilege of watching him pitch in person and at times he was flat out unhittable for a U of A team that reached the NCAA tournament. However, he doesn’t have a lot of MLB upside in terms of top of the rotation ability.
Peterson throws the full mix, but only his fastball and slider are mostly developed.
