Pipeline Preview: Peralta looks to stay hot for Biloxi

Here's a look at top prospects to watch in today's Minor League action:
Hitter to watch:Jorge Mateo (A's No. 4), Midland at Frisco (8:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Mateo fired on all cylinders Friday in Double-A Midland's win against San Antonio on Friday, going 4-for-5 with a triple, two RBIs and four runs scored out of the leadoff spot. It was his fourth four-hit performance this season and his first since joining the A's organization in the Trade Deadline deal for Sonny Gray. Overall, the 22-year-old shortstop-center fielder has posted a .267 average across with 58 extra-base hits and 52 steals in 126 games this season spanning two levels and two organizations.

Pitcher to watch:Freddy Peralta (Brewers' No. 11), Biloxi at Mobile (8:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Peralta has been the hottest pitcher in the Minors since the beginning of August. The 21-year-old right-hander owns a 0.40 ERA for Double-A Biloxi over his last five outings (four starts), during which he's compiled 33 strikeouts in 22 1/3 innings while holding hitters to a paltry .105/.236/.132 line. The torrid stretch comes at the end of a breakout campaign that's seen Peralta post a 2.53 ERA with a .176 opponents' average and 161 strikeouts in 114 combined innings between the Carolina and Southern Leagues.

The 2016 first-rounder (No. 9 overall) showed much better in the New York-Penn League, posting a 1.89 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings (nine starts) for Class A Short Season Connecticut.

Morejon has also scuffled since moving up to the Midwest League, as the No. 78 overall prospect carries a 4.76 ERA through five starts with him into the weekend. The 18-year-old southpaw has allowed 22 hits while logging 17 strikeouts and 12 walks over 22 2/3 innings in that span.
