Ty Peeples Commits to Florida State After Georgia Transfer and MLB Draft Selection

The versatile outfielder brings a record‑setting high school résumé and a fresh draft experience to the Seminoles.

Ty Peeples, a top‑60 recruit in the 2025 class, announced his commitment to Florida State University on Wednesday, marking a pivotal moment for the Seminoles' baseball program. The announcement follows his recent transfer from the University of Georgia, where he completed a freshman season that, while modest in statistical output, hinted at the potential that made him a coveted prospect.

Peeples arrives in Tallahassee with a high school legacy that includes setting the Georgia prep record for career walks (142) and earning 2024 Perfect Game All‑American honors. He was ranked No. 4 overall prospect and No. 1 outfielder in Georgia, and No. 10 outfielder nationally by Perfect Game, underscoring the expectations placed on his shoulders.

A New Chapter in the Seminoles' Outfield

During his lone year at Georgia, Peeples appeared in 32 games, making one start, and posted five hits — including a pair of doubles — over 17 at‑bats. He walked six times and struck out six, while also stealing three bases. Though his collegiate numbers were modest, the skill set that earned him those high school accolades remains evident.

The outfielder’s draft journey added another layer of excitement. The Toronto Blue Jays selected him in the 20th round of the 2025 MLB Draft, a pick that many view as a sign of his professional promise. Peeples now balances the demands of college baseball with the prospect of a future MLB career, a dual path that could shape his development in unique ways.

Florida State’s coaching staff sees Peeples as a versatile addition who can contribute both at the plate and in the field. His ability to work counts, demonstrated by his high school walk record, aligns with the Seminoles’ emphasis on disciplined hitting. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, Peeples’ presence is expected to deepen the outfield’s depth and competition.
