View Draft Report
Persinger was drafted twice out of Golden West (Calif.) JC, most recently by the Dodgers in the 17th round in 2016, but instead went to Cal State Fullerton. He took over the Titans starting second-base job from day one and hit .287 with a .414 on-base percentage and stole a team-high 14 bases in the regular season. Persinger is a high-energy player often labeled a "gamer" or "throwback". He possesses a short, compact swing that makes contact up through the middle of the field and is a plus runner with sub-4.2 second times out of the box from the right side. Persinger is an adequate defender at second base, but some evaluators feel he would be better defensively in left field. Overall Persinger profiles as a high-energy multi-position player who get on base, and his polished all-around game could help him move quickly up the minors.
