Peavy stands 6'1" tall (1.85 m) and weighs 195 pounds (83 kg). While with the Padres, he won the 2007 NL Cy Young Award after recording the pitching triple crown that year. He was traded from the White Sox to the Red Sox in 2013 and helped them to a World Series title later that season. One year later, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants, where he also helped them win a World Series title later in the season. He became the first starting pitcher in Major League history to win two consecutive World Series with two different teams in two different leagues, including being traded by his former team at the trade deadline.

Jake wore the number 44 throughout his career. When he was traded to the San Francisco Giants, he took number 43, as 44 was retired in honor of Willie McCovey. After struggling in the middle of the 2014 season, he changed to 22.
