Tristan Dimitri Peters is a 25-year-old outfielder/left fielder from Winkler, Manitoba, who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 7th round (207th overall) in 2021 and signed for $147,500. Peters demonstrated strong offensive potential at Southern Illinois University, posting a .355/.463/.548 slash line with 6 home runs, 20 doubles, and 2 triples across 60 games. His approach at the plate was particularly notable, with 46 walks against just 28 strikeouts, showing considerable patience and ability to find the barrel.

Physically, Peters stands 5'11" and weighs 180 pounds, batting left-handed and throwing right-handed. However, scouting evaluations note that while he is a decent all-around player with solid contact skills, he is limited physically and faces questions regarding his long-term projectability as a professional prospect.

Peters' professional path has been complex, involving multiple organization changes and minor league assignments. He was initially signed by Milwaukee but was later traded to the San Francisco Giants, then subsequently traded to the Tampa Bay Rays. Throughout his minor league tenure, he has been assigned to various affiliates including the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, Biloxi Shuckers, Montgomery Biscuits, and Durham Bulls, with several stints on the injured list. His recorded professional statistics show a .275 batting average with a .333 on-base percentage and .319 slugging percentage across 69 at-bats, with zero home runs in that sample.
