Dustin Allen Peterson (born September 10, 1994) is an American professional baseball third baseman in the Atlanta Braves' organization.
Peterson attended Gilbert High School in Gilbert, Arizona. He played for the school's baseball team as a shortstop. As a senior, Peterson had a .540 batting average and hit 10 home runs with 39 runs batted in (RBIs). Peterson committed to attend Arizona State University on a college baseball scholarship to play for the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Baseball America ranked Peterson as the 44th best available prospect in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. The San Diego Padres selected Peterson in the second round, with the 50th overall selection, of the draft. Peterson signed with the Padres, rather than attend college. The Padres transitioned Peterson into a third baseman. He made his professional debut with the Arizona Padres of the Rookie-level Arizona League after he signed, and he batted .293 in 38 games.
