Anyone who follows Nationals Minor League baseball knows that High-A Wilmington is a tough place to hit. The dimensions are very pitcher friendly making it an environment where pitching dominates. A lot of the Nats big time prospects have struggled there in recent years. However, one man is dominating there and it has caught my attention. His name is Sam Petersen and he is a real sleeper prospect I am going to explore.
The Nationals drafted Petersen out of the University of Iowa in the 8th round last year. Petersen was an intriguing prospect coming out of Iowa.
