Drafted last year as a college senior, Pierce impressed the organization with the plus speed and outstanding toughness. He developed those skills while returning kickoffs and catching passes for San Diego State's football team. Voted the MVP at Rookie-level Great Falls after leading the club in on-base percentage (.414) and triples while ranking second in steals and RBIs, Pierce earned a promotion to low Class A at season's end. He showed signs of being a mature hitter at the plate and handled breaking pitches with little difficulty. He also gets the job done in center field. The Dodgers believe that if he can continue to make consistent contact, Pierce's excellent speed and quickness will make him a dangerous offensive player. Though he's just now living up to his potential as he devotes himself entirely to baseball for the first time, Pierce was old for the Pioneer League and must prove he can produce against more advanced pitchers. He may get the chance in high Class A this year.
