BA Grade/Risk: 50/Extreme
Track Record: Peguero was one of the gems of Miami's most recent international class, joining Jose Gerardo in that group. As an amateur, Peguero was lauded for a simple swing, excellent bat speed and standout raw power. He also did well against live pitching. Peguero started his career in the Dominican Summer League, where he showed a power-based skill set with plenty of contact.
Scouting Report: Peguero is the most well-rounded of all the players in Miami's most recent international class. He's got big-time bat speed with excellent bat-to-ball skills and power that projects a fringe-average now but could get a tick higher as he fills out and gets stronger. Peguero needs to tone down his swing-happy approach and greatly improve his rates of chase and in-zone miss. He moves around well in center field but is likely to head a corner spot as his body thickens up. If that happens, his above-average speed and potentially plus arm will fit nicely in right field, though that will make the further development of his power even more pressing.
The Future: Peguero will head stateside in 2023, with a trip to the Florida Complex League on the docket. He has a chance to be an everyday corner outfielder with further improvement of his hittability.
Scouting Grades: Hit: 50. Power: 45. Speed: 55. Fielding: 50. Arm: 60.
