He has a good hip now, with better command. Did better the second half of 2024.

Seems to me that Peterson finally turned the corner last year and stepped up big.

140 IP only because they will likely go with a six man rotation otherwise I'd have gone to 160 IP

Expecting him to turn into a strong number 3 starter and continue to make progress. He would be a great #4 or #5 if they had a true ace on the staff

Peterson figured some things out and his tenacity with runners on base helped him outperform his FIP. I think he’ll continue to be valuable and be solid all year and a middle of the rotation starter. I’m going with 130 IP, 3.33 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 9.0K/9, 2.5BB/9, 1.2 HR/9.

After completing a nice season in 2022 I thought that Peterson would have a breakout season in 2023 but injuries derailed his statistics. Finally in 2024 he came back from the injuries and had a fine season. His peripherals is tempering my projection. I think he will be a strong SP3 in 2025.

Like Steven and Bull, Peterson made a believer out of me last year. His end numbers won't be quite as shiny in 2025, but still very good for a #3 starter:

130 IP 3.30 ERA 1.292 WHIP 8.0 K/9 .75 HR/9
