Tigers reportedly call up shortstop prospect immediately after Dodgers series
The 24-year-old had video game numbers over the last week in Triple-A.
Shortstop prospect John Peck, currently with the Detroit Tigers' Triple-A Toledo team, will reportedly be called up to the MLB shortly, according to a report by Baseball America's Emily Waldon. Peck, who is 24 years old, demonstrated outstanding performance in his recent games, batting .476/.542/.714 in just six games at Triple-A Toledo.
The talented player had already made an impact at Double-A Erie, where he played 58 games and recorded a .285/.328/.511 average, along with 10 home runs and 19 stolen bases. Despite being overlooked by many college recruiters, Peck was selected by the Tigers in the seventh round of the 2023 MLB Draft. His impressive performance in spring training, including 30 at-bats with a .333/.375/.600 mark, two home runs, and a triple, further solidified his value to the team.
Following his successful debut in the minor leagues, Peck was invited to Major League camp as a non-roster invite, where he made a lasting impression on the Tigers' staff.
