Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 5-11, 175-pounds. Proportionate frame, round shoulders.
Delivery: Simple, easy delivery, high leg lift with tuck and coil, drop and drive down the mound.
Arm Action: LH. Long, loose, quick arm action, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T85, 84-85 mph. Mixes in sinker that gets downer action. T2503, 2410 average rpm.

CH: 75-77 mph. Runs to the arm-side. T1700, 1633 average rpm.
LHP/OF Hayden Peterson (Batavia, 2026) is an upside southpaw to keep an eye on in the freshman class. While not the big velo that we may have seen out of others at this event, Peterson has a clean and easy 79-82 mph fastball that flashes cut properties with above average spin on both his fastball and slider at 2400 rpm.
