12-28-22 - 2023 MLB Draft – Top 50 High School Prospects

26. Liam Peterson, RHP, Calvary Christian HS (FL) – Peterson has a lot to really like, and a lot to be concerned with. His delivery is very hitchy with a short arm 3/4 slot with late effort, but there is life in that quick arm and the ball really jumps out of his hand. He has two breakers, a curve in the lower 70s with more of a 1-7 shape but he has a slider that really runs in the 77-78 range that flashes plus. 

The change sits 83-85 and will run for days, also has a plus potential. The fastball is, you guessed it, a runner sitting 91-95 that plays up with the arm action and will probably add velo to his long projectable frame.

49 RHP

Liam Peterson

Calvary Christian

Sits 91-94 T95 with running life late, filling up the zone. Slider features high spin 78-81 with late break, can manipulate shape. The breaking ball here is the real gem. Flashes a changeup at 83 with tumble and a mid-70's bender. Athletic, compact delivery that needs to work on consistency, but significant upside with starter traits.

Liam Peterson ('23, FL) showed the ability to miss bats often. FB topped out at 96 mph. Sharp CB at 78-80 mph fooled hitters often. Offering generated 5 whiffs in the inning. Florida commit

Liam Peterson is a 2023 RHP/1B with a 6-5 195 lb. frame from Palm Habor, FL who attends Calvary Christian HS. Extra long frame with long limbs and plus physical projection remaining. Primary right-handed pitcher who only pitched during the event. Full windup through a three-quarters slot with a full arm stroke. Plus arm speed with some effort out in front. 

Peaked at 95 mph and lived in the 91-94 mph range. Very good sink and run on the fastball. Slider showed spin over 2700+ with tight bite while he could also land the softer curveball for strikes. Turned over some nasty changeups to left-handed hitters. Very high ceiling stuff and projection overall. Great student. Verbal commitment to Florida
