Uncommitted. Absolutely dominated from 1st pitch to last, expecting to strikeout every hitter. Peavy has very impressive body control w/ efficient, deceptive short circle AA L 3/4. He creates quick arm speed with just a flick of the wrist. Stays strong on the lower half and works his front knee stiff just after release. Confident & aggressive w/ heavy tailing FB (84-86) to both edges. Future + CB (69) sharp 2 planer w/ sweep!

A 6-foot-3, 167-pound left-handed pitcher, Peavy is long and lanky with a projectable build. Short and quick with the arm action, the big southpaw delivers from a low ¾ slot from an upright delivery with a more substantial cross over to the finish providing for some deception. Athletic on the mound, the fastball sat 83-85, touching 86 with heavy sink, and he threw to both sides of the plate effectively.  The fastball received a fair number of swings and misses in the zone, and he was able to counter with a changeup of similar profile at 77-80. The curveball flashed as a swing-and-miss offering, sharp at times at 68-70, and could trend up in a hurry. Overall, Peavy presents a true starter upside, and his strong performance (4.1 innings, 8K-1BB, 2H, 2R) against a loaded lineup only made it even easier to want to follow him the rest of the summer.
