BayDogs Player Spotlight: Rich Peters

For six of the last seven seasons, Rich Peters has been the heart and soul of the BayDogs offense. First, as a fixture in right field, and now as a slick-fielding first baseman, Peters continues to wield a dangerous bat. He hit .303 in season 7, the second highest average of his career. Moreover, he once again put up the power numbers with 56 homers and 117 RBIs. For his career, Peters has knocked 348 balls out of the parks around the National League and driven in 897 runs. In Season 4, Rich went down with a torn ACL and missed almost the entire year. This injury robbed him of what speed he had and reduced his range in the field, necessitating his move from right field to first base. In an exclusive interview for this article, Peters stated "I am really looking forward to next season and I think some of those young guys we've been hearing about in the minors might be ready to make the jump to the Bigs. Maybe we'll finally make a run for the pennant." At 31 year old and starting the second year of a 3 year contract in season 8, BayDogs management hopes for several more years of top production from their MVP. So do BayDogs fans!!!!
