Gary Charles Peters (April 21, 1937 – January 26, 2023) was an American professional baseball player. He was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played on two major league teams for 14 seasons, from 1959 through 1972. He was one of the best-hitting pitchers of his era.
The 6-foot-2, 202-pound left-hander started the 1958 season with Colorado Springs of the Class-A Western League. After a rocky start — a 7.43 ERA in 23 innings — Peters was reassigned to Davenport in the Class-B Three-I League, and had another good year there, winning 12 of 20 decisions in 25 games.
