So just gonna take those things into this offseason and everything moving forward. So yeah, I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt first you feel a little uncomfortable just because that\u2019s part of everything,\u201d Peck said. \u201cIt takes so much time to settle in and get comfortable, and that\u2019s all part of the process. But I\u2019ve gotten more comfortable, for sure, and it\u2019s been super fun being around all these guys. It\u2019s been crazy, crazy year and good experience, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John Peck Played In 24 Games With The Tigers This Season<\/p>\n<p>Peck\u2019s path to the majors began when Detroit took him with the 210th overall selection in the 2023 <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/sports\/mlb\/\" title=\"MLB\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"502040\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MLB<\/a> Draft. After signing with the organization, he got his first taste of professional baseball with the Florida Complex League Tigers before also seeing action for Lakeland.<\/p>\n<p>His 2024 campaign included stops at all three levels of the Tigers\u2019 lower-level system, as he suited up for the FCL Tigers, Lakeland and West Michigan. Peck spent the first part of the 2025 season with West Michigan and later moved up to Double-A Erie.<\/p>\n<p>Another promotion came in June 2026, when Detroit sent Peck to Triple-A Toledo; but he landed on the injured list only two days after his arrival. The Tigers ultimately brought him to the majors on Aug. 31, and he made his big-league debut that night.<\/p>\n<p>Overall in 2026, he appeared in 24 games with the Tigers and 70 total games within the organization.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/author\/mwhitak2130318\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Michael Whitaker<\/a> Michael Whitaker is a sports journalist based in metro Detroit with nearly a full decade of experience with publications like Clutch Points and The Hockey News.
