Peterson’s junior year ended with a 7-1 record and 4.55 ERA, tied for the sixth-best in the conference. He struck out 62 over 65.1 innings pitched and 15 appearances, 13 of them starts.

“Professional scouts see a lot of potential (in Max),” remarked Piraro. “He’s a left-handed young man with good size and a good, explosive fastball. He’s got some seasoning yet to do, and I’m sure in Max’s case, he’s going to decide what’s in his best interest. We look forward to meeting with Max and trying to help him in this decision-making process, but he earned the right to be drafted by a major-league franchise.”

“It’s an honor,” said Peterson, who followed the draft on-line from his home in San Diego, and was actually on the phone with another club when he saw his name pop up on the computer screen as Oakland’s latest selection. “Not many get this opportunity, to follow what they have been doing since age four. I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time in this game, and this is a dream come true. I’m just glad that I’ve been given this opportunity.”

CONGRATULATIONS to Max and his family!!!

" the wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size."
