Dillon Peters

Peters has 131 innings of major-league experience under his belt in his time with the Marlins and Angels, but a 5.70 ERA and 1.61 WHIP leave little to write home about. Peters is a lefty who works in the 90-92 mph range with a big loopy curveball, but has struggled with the command of both pitches in his three years at the big-league level. Lefties have a tougher time taking him yard, but righties own a .292/.363/.544 slash line against him and they've hit 22 of the 25 homers he has allowed in his big-league career. If he wants to avoid a permanent assignment to the bullpen, Peters will need to get better with his offspeed pitch or start using a cutter to knock on the front door of hitters. Until that happens, keep him at arm's length.

Opportunity drives fantasy value, and Peters stands a good chance of breaking camp in the Miami rotation, and there are worse things than getting to call Marlins Park home. Peters induced groundballs at a 63.3 percent rate last season, and that led him to a 0.42 HR/9, 3.39 FIP and 3.87 xFIP in 21.1 innings at home. He issued too many free passes in his first exposure to big-league hitters (5.5 BB/9), but Peters' walk rates on the farm in 2016 and 2017 (1.4 BB/9 and 2.4 BB/9, respectively) suggest improvement is likely as he gets acclimated at the highest level. The lefty held same-handed hitters to a .059 average during his time with Double-A Jacksonville and right-handers combined for just a .307 wOBA against him in the majors. He has never reached even 8.0 K/9 above rookie ball, and the lack of strikeouts will limit his upside, but Peters has the makings of a decent home streaming option.
