Mizzou Baseball alum Brett Peel enters his second season on the Tiger coaching staff and first as a volunteer assistant coach. He served as a graduate assistant in 2019 and will continue to assist Coach Bieser and the rest of the Mizzou staff during practices and gameday.
Peel competed in black and gold from 2014-15, appearing in 75 total games with 65 starts. In his 2015 senior campaign, he started in 57 games at second base and led off in 46 of those contests. Peel recorded a team-high 40 runs, 15 RBI and reset his career-high in doubles with nine. He led the team in walks and runs scored, as his 40 runs were the most by a Tiger since Blake Brown posted 51 in 2012.
Peel was also a menace on the basepaths in 2015, pacing Mizzou and ranking fifth in the Southeastern Conference with 22 stolen bases. His 22 steals on the season ranked as the third-most in program history and the most by a Tiger since Torre Tyson stole 37 in 1998. Peel became just the seventh Tiger ever to steal 20 or more bases in a single season.
Prior to joining the Tigers, Peel hit .336 with a pair of home runs and 25 RBI for
Jefferson College in 2013 and showed great speed on the base paths, stealing 21 bags and scoring 26 runs. In 2012, he played in 38 games overall and had an OBP of .408 while slugging .463 with seven doubles, two triples and a pair of home runs.
