"Peguero was once a touted young infielder whom the Pirates acquired from the D-backs in exchange for Starling Marte. He's a former top-100 prospect who was once viewed as a possible shortstop of the future in Pittsburgh. Peguero's bat has never come around, however. He's seen action in four big league seasons but has mustered only a .227/.278/.368 slash line in 315 turns at the plate."
"Peguero has also looked overmatched at the top minor league level. Outside of a late-2023 cameo in Triple-A where he smacked a pair of homers in 30 promising plate appearances, he's produced well below-average numbers with the Pirates' top affiliate in Indianapolis. He's a .253/.317/.403 hitter in 888 plate appearances there, including a career-worst .247/.313/.375 showing in 75 games with Indy this season."
Liover Peguero signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies and is expected to be a non-roster invitee to major league spring camp. He was traded to the Pirates from the D-backs for Starling Marte and was once a top-100 prospect and potential shortstop of the future. His major-league bat has underperformed, producing a .227/.278/.368 slash line across four seasons. Triple-A results have been largely below average outside of a brief late-2023 hot streak. scouting reports praise his defensive tools but note recurring mechanical issues and throwing errors. He projects as low-priority depth behind established middle infielders.
