When both your first and last names are four letter words, that can't be a good sign.

Zach Morris Peeked when he was 17

Winthrop's best pitching prospect since Kevin Slowey was a second-round pick in 2005, Peek has struggled more than expected this spring. Florida torched him for 10 runs in his third start of the season and he has battled his control and command for much of the spring. He did lead the Big South Conference in strikeouts for the second straight year, however, and still should fit in the first five or six rounds. Peek uses both a low-90s sinker and a harder four-seam fastball, and he can maintain his velocity into the late innings. His curveball hasn't been as sharp as usual, though it still flashes good depth and he's throwing it for strikes. He masks his changeup well and it features some fade. Peek has a clean delivery and repeats his high-three-quarters arm slot well. If he can regain the feel for his curveball and for locating his pitches that he has displayed in the past, he could have a solid three-pitch repertoire and make it as a No. 4 starter at the next level.

Not the kind of evaluation that makes one want to pop some champagne.

So...he repeats his high three quarters arm slot well... which is probably a bad thing if he sucks this bad.
