Todd Richard Peterson (born January 22, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Washington Nationals organization.
A pure pitcher in high school and a reliever for the Louisiana State University Tigers in college, Peterson attracted some media attention when he batted for himself and drove in a pair of runs in an extra-innings win over South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference tournament in 2018. Peterson later told reporters that he had convinced LSU manager Paul Mainieri to let him swing away by telling him he hit "bombs" in high school, which was a lie—Peterson's high school coach at Lake Mary High School had never let him bat in a game, he confessed.{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/06/05/nats-draft-pick-todd-peterson-reliever-who-claims-hit-bombs-is-plus-plus-liar/|newspaper=The Washington Post|title=Nats draft pick Todd Peterson, a reliever who claims to 'hit bombs,' is a plus-plus liar|first=Scott|last=Allen|date=June 5, 2019|access-date=May 5, 2021}}
