Georgia commit. The 2x-Prep Baseball All-American absolutely evaporated one to the pull-side for a massive solo HR. Late in the 7th and facing an upper 80s arm, Peeples would get the barrel out and leave the yard in a hurry. The strength within the 6-foot-1,180-pound frame has been on full display this spring as the power has showed up frequently with HR #6 Monday evening. Showcasing one of the most polished swings in the ‘25 Prep Class. Peeples creates easy carry to the pull-side backed by advanced barrel lag in zone and ability to change plane with present bat speed to match. Easy rhythm in the box and stays extremely well-connected with a big leg kick in order to get on time, to find consistent impact throughout the zone. Truly advanced hit/power upside. Peeples is a must know name come July.
Prep Baseball All-American Game: One of the fastest risers over the past 12 months, Peeples continues to ascend into one of the top outfielders in the class of 2025. Operating out of open, even base, the Georgia commit utilizes a rhythmic pre-pitch handset and bigger leg kick. Advanced ability to manipulate the barrel to match plane on entire pitch mixes with elite mobility in the lower half. There’s present bat speed and ability to rotate that continues to improve with real heaviness in the barrel. Significant hit/power projection. Peeples covers ground well in either corner with advanced routes and long strides from the 6-foot-2 frame. Solid arm strength that will play up due to carry and accuracy.
UGA Commit. 6-foot-2, 170 pounds. In my 10+ years of heavily scouting the Peach State, there aren’t ten “Hit for Avg” tools I’ve felt this strongly about. This is not an exaggeration, every time I film Peeples 1st AB he gets a perfectly clean barrel. My first look at him in his sure to be legendary HS career was at LakePoint, where he hit a mammoth bomb to right center in one of his first games at about 150 lbs. Not only did he launch a tater, but showed elite instincts on defense, robbing a HR at the wall in CF like a pro. It’s safe to say that wasn’t the first robbery he made with the leather, as it's easy to see he’s been a prodigy ever since he stepped on a baseball field. He’s the literal definition of a swiss army knife at the plate. Ty is able to adjust on the fly to any delivery, arm slot, pitch type, or location. His timing mechanisms and forward move are absolutely dynamic, as he can go from no stride to leg kick, and everything in between. Feel to hit is just something you can’t teach, and Peeples is quite simply a natural. He makes correct swing decisions at an incredible rate, and I’ve still yet to see him off balance. This future draft pick is able to manipulate his body/swing path to barrel pitches in the toughest locations, and his elite vision allows him to pick up pitch types early. His big time baseball IQ enables him to pick up the slightest tendencies in a pitcher, and he’s one of the toughest players to K in the state. As 2022 brought him some serious recognition from PBR scouting staff and made him a national name (No. 57th player nationally for us), 2023 and beyond are sure to be no different!
Uncommitted. The 6 foot 1, 160 prodigy has a medium frame and high waist with long, lean levers. Already one of the most advanced hitters in his class, I truly believe Ty’s bat could hold its own at the D1 level right now. He had two barrels in game 1 off the No. 40 ranked pitcher in our 2023 Rankings, who sat 89-90 mph. First AB he got his foot down early to gain his timing and hit a laser to left, 2nd AB he changed to a perfectly timed leg kick and went pull side double. In Game 2 he went to the toe tap just off feel, and hits another pull side gapper. The aptitude Peeples shows is generational, and through these adjustments the most important parts don’t change - minimal head movement, hip/shoulder separation, linear connection, and swing path. Should be one of the hottest 2025’s this summer.
