Sylvester Peck, Jr., a former FAMU High baseball player, is now a first baseman with the Jackson State Tigers and will play against the Florida A&M University baseball team on Friday, February 17, 2012. Peck signed a scholarship with the Tigers this past summer.

While at FAMU High, Peck was named team captain and was one of the area's best hitters, batting over .500 in his senior season. He was also voted the team's MVP by his teammates.

After high school, Peck played baseball with Prince George's Community College (PGCC) in Largo, Maryland. He was named a team captain for the PGCC Owls and helped to lead them to their first district tournament in a number of years. Prince George's Head Coach Brent Alexander described Peck as a "leader through few words and always a leader by example." Coach Alexander named Peck as the Team's Most Valuable Player and nominated him and teammate Dale Davis for Junior College All-American during the 2011 season. Peck signed with Jackson State after earning his Associate of Arts degree in August 2011 and entered Jackson State classified as a junior. He is the son of Sylvester and Evelyn Graham Peck of Tallahassee, Florida.
