He did not sign and attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he played college baseball.[1][2] His junior season came to an end early after he suffered an elbow injury which required Tommy John Surgery.[3] Despite the injury, he was drafted by the Miami Marlins in the 10th round of the 2014 MLB draft.[4]

In 2016, he played for the Jupiter Hammerheads and Jacksonville Suns,[5][6] compiling a combined 14–6 record and 2.38 ERA over 24 total starts. He spent 2017 with Jupiter, Jacksonville, and the GCL Marlins, posting a combined 7–3 record and 1.57 ERA in 13 starts.[7]

The Marlins promoted Peters to the major leagues to make his debut on September 1, 2017.[8] He started six games for Miami, going 1–2 with a 5.17 ERA.
