Peeples is lean and athletic lefthanded hitter with a 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame that still has space to fill out and an impressive track record of performance as an underclassman. He has a smooth lefthanded swing with solid rhythm, bat speed and strength that leads to above-average or even plus raw power, but as Peeples has faced better competition his swing-and-miss tendencies have grown. He can punish bad pitching in the zone to the pull side, and generally does a solid job with his swing decisions, but his pure bat-to-ball skills make scouts wonder if he’s going to be a below-average pure hitter at the next level. He swings and misses frequently inside the zone against all pitch types. When he’s timed up and gets extended he can hit impressive home runs, but he needs to find a way to get the barrel on the ball with more frequency. Peeples has turned in above-average run times in the past, but scouts this spring saw a fringy or below-average runner who might need to play left or right field at the next level. He does have solid defensive instincts and could outplay his raw speed, but the corner profile adds more pressure to his bat. Peeples is committed to Georgia, and might be best served refining his hit tool in the SEC. Some teams could take a shot on his power in the 4-7 round range.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 40 | Power: 55 | Run:45 | Field: 50 | Arm: 50.

Peeples has a lean, athletic frame and hitterish traits. He has consistently performed at a high level, showing good rhythm and timing in a fluid, well-sequenced swing that’s quick, loose and whippy. He flashes over-the-fence power now without having to sell out his swing to do so, and has the strength projection and fast bat speed for more power to come. He’s a tick above-average runner with enough speed to give him a chance to stick in center field, though there’s a good chance he’s a corner outfielder as he gets closer to the big leagues.
