A 23rd rounder of the 2017 MLB Draft, Matt Peacock was drafted after a good season his Junior year, with an ERA of 2.96 in 52 relief innings. For a while, there Matt had reason to believe he didn’t have a future in baseball at all. With a 6.10 ERA as a Freshman, and a 22.09 ERA as a Sophomore, the results were dreadful. He underwent surgery to fix the bone spurs in his arm, but an offseason which saw him install industrial sawmill equipment, and just like that his arm was better. The good season followed, and it was enough to garner attention from the D-backs and others, even as high as the 3rd round, but he fell, and the D-backs pounced.
