One of the better catchers around the turn of the century, Peitz was a reliable hitter (career-high .315 in 1902) who often played other positions as well. In 1897 he led all National League catchers in fielding with a .979 percentage. He usually caught lefthander Ted Breitenstein and the duo became known as the Pretzel Battery because of their German ancestry and a mutual fondness for postgame beer and pretzels at a Cincinnati saloon. Peitz's older brother Joe played a few games in the Cardinal outfield in 1894.
