Taking a Look at Pittsburgh Pirates Prospect Liover Peguero

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired Liover Peguero via trade from the Arizona Diamondbacks for Starling Marte back in January. Peguero is a highly-touted prospect out of the Dominican Republic and has shown unbelievable flashes of stardom. According to Eric Logenhagen, Peguero draws comparisons to Jean Segura and with good reason. Both Peguero and Segura have similar builds and have lightning fast reflexes with their bat in the zone.

The young Dominican is currently ranked sixth in the Pirates system and 98th overall in baseball according to FanGraphs. His offensive ceiling is very high with the potential to be an above-average power hitter for his shortstop position.
