## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Peggy Heffernan

Peggy Heffernan is a power hitter at heart. She has 98/100 batting power, although her 37 contact leaves her prone to pop ups and foul balls. Her speed is right around average, at 54. Her glove is great, she has 98 coordination. However, her throwing is arm is perhaps her biggest weakness, at just 26 throwing strength. In terms of priorities, she is not very high on any of the priority lists.

"Peggy has among the most reliable gloves in the league, though the same can't be said of her throwing arm. Though she struggles to make contact, her power swings can blast baseballs to the ionosphere. A real boom-or-bust player." - a Backyard Baseball-like player card description written by MelloMathTeacher

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Generics were made widely available in Season 3, and Peggy was first taken with the 51st overall pick in the 3rd round by coach Mavfatha of the Orioles. Peggy had a decent debut, leading her team in doubles and finishing second in batting average and runs scored. However, the Orioles have the dubious distinction of being the first 0-14 team in BBL history.

#### Season 4

With her draft stock falling, perhaps due to rumors of her weak arm, Peggy was drafted 134th overall in the 6th round by coach jyknight of the Expos. She wasn't one of the best players on the Expos, but she did improve personally in most of her offensive stats.

#### Season 5

Perhaps impressed by her previous season, jyknight drafted Peggy again, this time 92nd overall in the 5th round for the Marlins. Her batting continued to improve, and she led the team with an impressive 48 RBIs. Peggy made the playoffs for the first time with the Marlins, where they lost in the first round.

#### Season 6

In Season 6, Peggy was taken 119th overall in the 5th round by coach jlund24 of the Bombers. She definitely saw more of a power-hitting role in this season. She hit half of her team's home runs (5 out of 10), and led the team with 19 RBIs. The Bombers missed the playoffs after losing a tiebreaker game.

#### Season 7

In Season 7, Peggy fell to the 6th round, where she was taken with the 121st pick by coach shrewsbury91 of the Reds. She was one of the lone bright spots on a struggling offense, and she hit double digit home runs for the first time in her career. She also had 26 RBIs, second on the team behind Derek Jeter.

#### Season 8

Peggy continued to slip in the draft, finally being taken with the 134th pick in the 6th round by coach Natetastic28 of the Braves. Nate found Peggy's groove, and she had a career year. She batted 0.686, smashed 19 home runs, both career highs, and drove in 47 RBIs, leading the Braves and one off her career high. She helped the Braves grab the NL Wild Card, although they lost in the first round of the playoffs.

#### Season 9

In Season 9, Peggy was drafted 123rd overall in the 6th round by coach shrewsbury91 of the Marlins, reuniting her with her coach from Season 7. Peggy continued her success from her previous two seasons, batting 0.630 with 11 home runs and 43 RBIs, both of which led the team. She drove in over 1/3 of the Marlins' runs in Season 9.

#### Season 10

##### 2003

With power bats rising in stock, Peggy was taken with her highest draft pick ever, pick 84 in the 4th round by coach alex7456 of the Angels. And the power paid off, as she led the team in home runs with 12 and was second on the team in RBIs, with 31.
