Personal
Peter has excellent power and the ability to make consistent contact and get a lot of walks. His average in-game exit velocity ranges in the low 90s (mph) with a maximum in the mid-100s.
Defensively, he can play first base, third base, and either of the corner outfield positions, which adds versatility to a club’s roster. He is good at positioning and getting good jumps on balls hit to the outfield. The velocity on his throws from the outfield ranges from the mid-to-high 80s (mph), and his arm is accurate.
Peter is a very energetic, vocal leader and a supportive teammate with a positive outlook who puts team goals ahead of individual ones.
In addition, he has a lot of coaching experience and would be excited about helping a club’s coaching staff. He has youth coaching experience and has helped manage travel teams and clubs at the high school level.

Testimonials
Peter is a fearless competitor. Loves to work on his craft and push his teammates to be better. He would be a great addition for any team. He has good bat to ball skills and power. Would love to see him get an opportunity.
Pete is a very hard working individual who strives to be the best. I have known Pete since he was in high school and have watched him put the work in to go from a D3 recruit to now one of the best hitters on the D1 team he was able to transfer to. I have watched Pete handle adversity and struggles as good as anyone and it has turned him into a better player and person. Off the field, I know he lives baseball and has enjoyed coaching when he has had the time in the past. Having developed as much as he has, he knows a thing or two about how to become a better baseball player.
