Pirates Prospects Daily: Liover Peguero’s Big Week Continues For Altoona

Even through a slow start, a player can show signs that their slump will only be temporary. Liover Peguero has been the living embodiment of that this season.

Despite a lot of his base stats being a tad underwhelming, Peguero was striking out less, and walking more compared to last year. You can see the work getting put in, and that it would only be a matter of time before the shortstop exploded.

Peguero had a slash of .238/.324/.302 during the month of April and didn’t hit his first home run until May. He’s been lights out in this weeks series against Bowie, picking up 11 hits in 21 at-bats while collecting five doubles and a pair of home runs, both of which came in Saturday’s game.
