2024 Fantasy Outlook
Peete intrigued as both a pitcher and shortstop in high school, but he suffered an elbow injury in August 2022 and never returned to the mound. Instead, the 6-foot-2, 193-pound lefty hitter from Georgia focused on shortstop and showed off his loud tools at the draft combine before Seattle took him with the 30th overall pick and handed him a $2.5 million bonus. Peete won't turn 19 until August, so he is one of the youngest, most projectable position players from this class. Peete has plus bat speed and projects to develop 20-plus homer power, although he has an aggressive approach. He slashed .283/.349/.404 with two home runs, six steals and a 27.5 K% in 24 games across the Arizona Complex League and Single-A, which is right in line with expectations. The mystery surrounding his elbow injury, which he never got surgery on, and questions about how much he'll hit and whether he'll outgrow shortstop, are reasons he didn't come off the board earlier, but Peete has a ton of tools -- he is also a plus runner -- and upside to dream on.

ANALYSIS
A year ago Peete intrigued as both a pitcher and shortstop, but he suffered an elbow injury last August and has not returned to the mound competitively, instead focusing on impressing scouts as a position player. A 6-foot-2, 193-pound lefty hitter from Georgia, Peete won't turn 18 until August, so he is one of the youngest, most projectable position players in the draft. Peete has plus bat speed and projects to develop 20-plus homer power, although he has a very aggressive approach, so there could be a lot of strikeouts against pro pitching, at least initially. The mystery surrounding his elbow injury, which he never got surgery on, and questions about how much he'll hit and whether he'll outgrow shortstop, are reasons he didn't come off the board earlier, but Peete has a ton of tools -- he is also a plus runner -- and upside to dream on.
