Jeff Peterek, born in 1962, was a professional baseball player who had a brief career in Major League Baseball (MLB) during the late 1980s. He played as a position player, making his debut on August 14, 1989, and concluding his time in the league just over a month later on September 22, 1989. Peterek’s tenure in the major leagues was short-lived, as he appeared in only 7 games, during which he did not record any hits, home runs, or runs batted in, finishing with a batting average of 0.0. Despite his limited contributions on the field, Peterek's journey to the majors serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many aspiring baseball players in a highly competitive environment.

While Peterek may not have left a significant statistical legacy, his participation in Major League Baseball remains a part of the rich tapestry of the sport’s history.
