Mariners prospect 3B/1B D.J. Peterson went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI on Wednesday for Double-A Jackson.
The home run was just the second of the year for Peterson, who slugged 31 in 2014 between High-A High Desert and Jackson. Even more concerning is the fact that the 23-year-old is batting just .213/.282/.305 with a 44 strikeouts through 42 games. But while it’s been a slow and disappointing start to the season for the 2013 first-round draft pick, his strong track record as a professional suggests his production will eventually pick up.
