Unsigned Senior Spotlight: 1B/RHP Adam St. Peter (Joplin HS)
April 29, 2013
Adam St. Peter, 1B/RHP, Joplin HS, Class of 2013:
A physically imposing 6-foot-4, 225-pounds, St. Peter showed to be a consistent and effective player on the mound and at the plate.
One the mound, St. Peter comes from an over the top arm slot with quick arm speed and showed the ability to command three pitches for strikes. His fastball sat 80-81 down in the zone with some cut action, breaking ball had a sharp, late breaking 12-to-6 shape, and a 67-70 mph change up.
At first base, St. Peter has confident hands and works well around the bag with good body control in turning double plays.
Offensively, St. Peter has a short stride and smooth load at the plate. He showed the ability to drive the ball hard, showing good power to the right center field power alley and effectively using all fields.
