Biography
Pepper Peploski was a professional baseball player born in 1891, whose brief career in Major League Baseball spanned a mere two games in June 1913. Despite the short duration of his time at the highest level, Peploski made an impact as a position player, finishing his MLB career with a notable batting average of 0.5. This statistic reflects his ability to hit safely in half of his plate appearances, showcasing a glimpse of potential that was likely overshadowed by the brevity of his career.
Peploski's time in the major leagues came during an era of significant transition in baseball, as the game was beginning to evolve from the deadball era towards more offensive-minded play. While he did not record any home runs or RBIs during his time with the team, his two hits in two games offered a momentary bright spot in a competitive landscape.
