Class of 2015 Profile Spotlight: Peter Klug (DeSmet)

Peter Klug, 1B/OF, DeSmet HS, Class of 2015:
Klug is a strong bodied 6-foot, 200-pound left handed hitter with an extremely strong lower half who impressed during batting practice with quick hand speed through the zone while taking a short, uphill path to the ball and driving hit hard to the right side. He shows good extension through contact with some glimpses of power. Klug’s top exit velocity off the bat was 80-mph. Klug still has room to develop and looks like he could be a big middle of the order contributor as he continues to progress.

While he plays both first base and outfield, Klug projects better as a first baseman showing concise footwork and ability to come off the bag while turning double plays with accuracy. In thou outfield, Klug moves well to the ball, taking accurate routes.

Klug may also see some time on the mound going into the spring.
