Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Matt Thompson
Age: 27 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 23rd
RuleV: On 40-Man
Physical Description: Small frame, looks to be physically mature despite small stature. Don't forecast any changes in his body in the future.
Delivery & Mechanics: Starts from the first base side of the rubber. Easy, delivery. Low effort as can be, just playing catch. Drives over stiff front leg. Repeats well.
Fastball: Peacock was recently added to the 40-man roster because of his fastball. It's low velocity, primarily working 88-92, up to 94 if needed. It's a heavy, bowling ball sinker and he keeps the ball in the yard, as well as throwing it for strikes. Peacock had an incredible 68% groundball rate in 2019 and that skill has some utility in a bullpen. Grade: 50
Slider: His slider has good shape, but it lacks bite. Slower slurvier pitch, hitters will chase and often time the result is yet another ground ball. Not a pitch he can throw as a stand alone offering. Only effective due to sequencing. Grade: 45
Changeup: Peacock's changeup is an ordinary pitch. Moves like his sinker but he slows his arm down. Similar movement profile. Grade: 40
Control and Command: He limits walks and is around the zone with the sinker. The other two pitches aren't thrown for strikes and are designed to get weak contact. Nothing sexy about this profile but Peacock provides a unique look for hitters. Control: 50 | Command: 45
Overall: You need unique looks for hitters in a big league bullpen, and Peacock is that heavy ground ball option that enters the game in the middle of a jam. Remarkable ground ball rates, over 66% in his last three minor league stops. That's essentially it though as the secondary offerings are both below average.
