The 5-foot-9, 165-pound athlete was impressive on this day. Had one of the louder rounds of bp, and did showcase a 79 mph arm both in the infield and the outfield. Peluchette also showed some pop with a 88 mph exit velocity. Defensively, he has obvious athleticism and moves rather well in both the infield and outfield. Overall, Peluchette is a no doubt, next level player
8/26/17 5-foot-7, 165-pound right-handed hitter sets up open and initiates swing with pronounced knee to knee leg kick and stride to neutral. An aggressive lower half weight shift and hip turn results in good separation. Subtle front knee softness and intermittent hip sway are present. Peluchette would benefit from consistently letting ball get deeper as well as rotating around a firmer front side. Considerable hip and hand quickness playing to bat exit velocity of 89 mph lends to substantial up side.
Defensively, works bottom up demonstrating good hands and athleticism. Creates angle and hops with feet while playing through the ball. Arm strength of 75 mph across at young age projects to potential to stay on left side of the infield.
