Answer: Jace Peterson

Jace Peterson began his MLB career with the San Diego Padres back in 2014. He is currently a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks and is gearing up for his 11th big league season.

So far throughout his career, Peterson is a .228 hitter with 42 homers and 244 RBIs. Over the last few seasons, Peterson's batting average seems to be gradually decreasing. At age 33 and 10 seasons under his belt, it wouldn't be shocking if 2024 was Peterson's last season in the MLB given his struggles.

Peterson did not provide eye-opening numbers while he was in Atlanta but he was a key piece in the rebuilding process for the Braves and always gave 100% effort, regardless of the score or his team's record. Here is to hoping Jace Peterson has his best season yet in 2024 (except when he faces Atlanta).
