2024 Fantasy Outlook
Peguero got his first significant sample in the majors in 2023, splitting his time almost exactly evenly between second base and shortstop. From a strictly fantasy perspective, he showed plenty of intrigue by racking up seven homers and six stolen bases in only 213 plate appearances. Those marks would suggest he has 20-20 potential, though there are red flags in his profile that call into question his ability to maintain a full-time job at the big-league level. First was his spiked strikeout rate. Throughout much of his minor-league career, Peguero struck out at a rate in the high teens or low 20s. During his first stint in Pittsburgh, that jumped to 31 percent. Regarded as at least an average defender by most scouting reports, Peguero struggled in that regard as well by delivering well below-average marks in defensive runs saved and range. Despite those warning signs, the Pirates don't have a clear plan at second base, and Peguero could get the first chance at the job. Given his prospect pedigree and surface-level success, he's a worthwhile dart throw in deeper draft formats. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Peguero made his ever-so-brief big-league debut in mid-June after Tucupita Marcano was placed on the COVID-19 injured list. However, the majority of his campaign was spent at Double-A Altoona. He posted a disappointing 88 wRC+ across 521 plate appearances at the level, which was highlighted by a dip in power production (.128 ISO, .306 wOBA). On the other hand, Peguero managed to balance that with a dip in strikeout rate (21.7 percent). Both of those skills align with his scouting report, which values his hit tool over power production. His standout skill projects to be his speed, and he backed that with 28 stolen bases and just six caught stealings in 2022. The Pirates move their prospects slowly, so Peguero will almost certainly begin 2023 with Triple-A Indianapolis. Rodolfo Castro and potentially Ji-Hwan Bae are the primary players blocking Peguero's path to the majors, though he could ultimately be in a race to Pittsburgh with fellow top prospect Nick Gonzales.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
'Work in progress' offensively
Triple-A Indianapolis manager Miguel Perez said Peguero has improved in making hard contact and with his defense this season, though the shortstop's offense overall remains a "work in progress," reports Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old played in 59 games as a rookie in 2023 and has a .237/.280/.374 slash line with seven homers, six steals and a 31.5 percent strikeout rate in 59 games. Peguero has spent the full 2024 campaign at Triple-A, where a 25.8 percent strikeout rate could be an area of concern. He has a 1.029 OPS in his past 12 games with Indianapolis and could receive a look with the Pirates during the stretch run, but he isn't likely to so be relevant for fantasy managers in the immediate future.
