PEORIA, Ariz. -- D.J. Peterson is enjoying his second trip to the Arizona Fall League more than his first. The Mariners corner infielder collected two more hits Saturday night as his Peoria Javelinas beat the Scottsdale Scorpions 3-1.
Peterson spent 2014 in the AFL with the Surprise Saguaros and struggled, batting .169/.290/.280 with 15 strikeouts in 16 games. He has fared much better this time around, notching three multi-hit games in his first five contests. He's batting .389/.450/.778 and already has more homers (two) and RBIs (seven) than he did last fall.
"Last year, I tried to do too much," Peterson said.
