Tai Peete has Modest Showing Through First Look at High-A
Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Tai Peete has had a modest showing during his first extended look at the High-A level. Through 81 games in the first half, Peete has posted a .224/.284/.403 slash line with 13 doubles, 13 home runs, and 15 stolen bases. He has generated a .687 OPS and held a poor 111:27 K:BB. While he has flashed power upside at times and is on track to finish the season in the 20/20 club, his strikeout rate has limited his upside. Over his last nine games, he has struck out 14 times and carried a .723 OPS. Last season, the 19-year-old spent his entire season with Low-A Modesto, posting a .269/.343/.408 slash line with 26 doubles, nine home runs, and an impressive 45 stolen bases. If Peete can lower his strikeout rate, he could be in the mix to earn a brief taste of Double-A in the final weeks of the season.
