P&P BOYS RULE THE HIGH PLAINS
1. Liover Peguero, SS
Missoula (D-backs)
AGE: 18. B-T: R-R. HT: 6-1. WT: 170. SIGNED: Dominican Republic, 2017
Peguero spent the second half of the 2018 season in the Arizona League at age 17 and struggled with the bat, but he came back to spring training this year noticeably stronger and a more mature hitter. That improvement resulted in an outstanding season with Missoula before being moved up to short-season Hillsboro, helping the Hops win the Northwest League championship.
Peguero has an innate ability to find the barrel with good timing at the plate and the ability to control the zone. His above-average raw power will translate into more in-game power with experience. Rounding out Peguero’s solid package of tools is above-average speed, which he used to steal eight bases.
What really impressed the D-backs was how Peguero developed defensively. He’s at least an above-average defender with an above-average arm.
2. Andy Pages, OF
Ogden (Dodgers)
