SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - John Peck, a 2023 Pepperdine baseball alum, has joined the Arizona Fall League. The announcement was made last night by the MLB Arizona Fall League.
The Fall League, entering its 34th season, is meant to serve as a chance for MLB's top prospects to put their skills on display.
The 2022 WCC All-League First Team member was sensational throughout a three-and-a-half year minor league tenure before being called up to the majors, making his MLB debut on August 31 with the Detroit Tigers. Peck showed flashes during his lone month spent on the active roster, appearing in 24 games while tallying a pair of multi-hit games and swiping five bases.
