D.J. Peterson should have his second-straight Mountain West batting triple crown when the 2013 season concludes. He has been an excellent hitter throughout his college career, showcasing an easy swing with improving power and minimal unnecessary movement. It's easy to project success at the plate at the next level. Some have gone as far as calling Peterson the best pure hitter in college.

Peterson is somewhat lacking as a defender, and may be pressed to play first base. The Lobos' defense improved significantly this season when Peterson moved over from third, allowing Alex Allbritton to take over at the hot corner. Peterson's bat should more than make up for any deficiencies with his glove, however, making him a solid mid-first round pick at the very least.
