One under the radar guy I can see being a top 30 guy in the future is P Michael Peterson. In 11.2 innings so far he has only given up two walks while striking out 13 batters and allowing no runs.

 

On the lighter side for being 6'7" but he reached 95 mph last night, and was consistently in the 92-94 mph range.

 

I also absolutely love his intensity on the mound as well.

 

Has he caught anyone else's eye?

Yah, he's been a super sleeper prospect for a few years. Bill Mitchell (I think) had a few reports on him back in 2015 in the AZL that piqued a lot of interest but it took Petersen a few years to get out of short season so that initial excitement fizzled a bit.

 

Like you said, great arm and pitching tools. His issue dating back to his work as an amateur has always been control. If and when he is able to harnass that, and it appears he has thus far this year, watch out. I actually haven't seen him pitch yet this year, but I do intend to go back and watch last night's game at some point soon.

Here's what I saw from Petersen as I watched his outing over lunch: high 3/4 delivery, fairly straight FB with occasional armside run, swing and miss true 12-6 CB that he commanded pretty well, a few changeups (I think that's what they were) that had some dip. He was missing pretty regularly with his FB both gloveside and up, especially early on. Batters were having a hard time getting around on the FB. Not sure his command plays at a high level at this point, but it's better than it was reported to be. I do think the CB has a chance to be a plus pitch, and his arm angle/long arms certainly help with it.

Good news for Tristen Lutz is despite his line still looking pretty ugly, over the last 7 games (only 16 games in) he has shown life and turn around.

 

First 9 games: 2-37 .056 Average, 1 XBH (HR) 2 BB/ 16 Ks.... about a 5% BB to 42% K Rates

 

Last 7 games: 8-27 .296 Average 3 XBH (HR, 2 2B) 2 BB / 6KS ....about 6.5% BB to 20% K Rates

 

Factor age, the aggressive assignment and weather.... not surprising he got off to such a rough start but hopefully he can keep trending up. I'm still very high on him!

Same here, but today was not very friendly to him. Picked off 1B, and a misjudged fly ball in RF.

Zach Clark absolutely crushed a ball to left center today, a true no doubter! So far, I have enjoyed watching this year's squad.

Nice to see Lara producing at the plate finally. What surprises me most when watching him play is his lack of speed on the bases.

He's really a big guy, very big frame. I can see why the initial projections on him were that he'd be limited to a corner spot as he filled out.
