Chicago White Sox rookie outfielder Tristan Peters was named to the American League All-Star team, just hours after hitting for the cycle in the majors. Peters, a former Savannah Bananas player, recorded the White Sox’s first cycle in nine years, finishing it off with a triple down the right-field line in his final at-bat.
Path to the Majors
Peters’ path to the majors has been unconventional. He spent time with the Savannah Bananas five years ago after playing at Southern Illinois University. During his stint with the Bananas, he was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh round of the MLB Draft. Peters was traded three times before reaching Chicago, playing for the San Francisco Giants and Tampa Bay Rays before joining the White Sox this past offseason.
This season, Peters is hitting .303 with an .841 OPS and 20 doubles, helping the White Sox tie for first place in the American League Central. His performance has been a major reason for the team’s success, and his All-Star selection is a testament to his hard work and dedication.
