Everywhere he goes, he's got a ball.
But season 2019 has been anything but typical for Peschka.
In fact, Peschka's winter has been so extraordinary he's broken the internet.
Well, maybe not the internet, but certainly the Lachlan District Junior Rugby League website.
Records show the Cabonne Roos gun, in 16 games, has scored 48 tries this year.
But so prolific is this 13-year-old from just outside of Cumnock even the record book is battling to keep up.
"I've scored 52, I think, all up," Peschka grins.
"When you get to 50 on the scoreboard you can't add past that, so it doesn't go on your record either. It's up to 52 I think."
Regardless of the figure - we'll happily go with Peschka's total of 52 - this young Roos star is in rarefied air.
He started playing lock in 2019, then moved to fullback and is now playing five-eighth as the Cabonne under 14s boys prepare for their grand final in a couple of weeks.
Peschka's scored three tries or more in every game he's played in 2019.
Scored seven in one game, too - a personal best. Kicks goals, as well, 47 in total this season.
So with 286 points for the season in the bank, Peschka has more points individually than Red Bend or Grenfell could muster as a team.
But perhaps the most impressive mark of this young man is his humility.
He's quick to point out it's his Roos teammates laying all of his tries on a platter.
While, during this interview with the Molong Central School student, one of Peschka's teachers stopped to say he assisted just as many tries as he's scored in 2019, too.
And that's where Peschka's focus is - his team.
And that's the secret behind his success.
"It's all about teamwork. I just try and help the team and they help me. I just seem to run the ball and score," he said, a mix of power and speed making him a handful for every side in the league.
"I'm pretty quick. And everyone says I'm big. There's a couple bigger than me in our team too.
It's all about teamwork. I just try and help the team and they help me. I just seem to run the ball and score.
- Bailey Peschka on his try-scoring prowess.
"I think we can go all the way."
You'd be a brave man to disagree, too.
Peschka's Roos will take on the winner of this Saturday's preliminary final between Parkes Marist Blue and Canowindra in a couple of week's at Manildra, Cabonne's home turf.
The Roos have won every game pretty handsomely this year, as you'd expect with the sort of attacking firepower Peschka offers.

Parkes put 32 points past Cabonne earlier in the season, only drama for the Marist boys was Cabonne still managed 52 of their own.
Teammate Toby Gibson also boasts the impressive tally of 21 tries this season, while Phatsakon Suksai has crossed for 12.
They're great numbers.
Great numbers that'll make any big, tireless prop battling away with the aim of scoring one try in a bid to get off the nudie run cringe.
Peschka and his mates at Cabonne mark try-scoring look easy.

"You could say that," he smiled.
Naturally, the incredibly humble schoolboy has big dreams.
He'd love to play in the National Rugby League one day, and has by and large tried to model his game on Billy Slater, arguably the greatest fullback of all time.
A Cronulla Sharks fan, his favourite player was Valentine Holmes but with Val now over in the United States trying his hand at the NFL Peschka has switched it up.
"Now it's probably old Paul Gallen," he laughs.
I want to play NRL when I'm older, this has been my best season.

Emulates Slater, loves Gallen ... you get the feeling Peschka plays as hard as he does fast.
That combination last year helped him get his first taste of serious representative footy, too, when he donned the sky blue of NSW for five days during the National PSSA Championship under 12s team.
He took on the best his age has to offer from right across Australia, and loved every minute of it.
"I was in the Western side and then made state," he explains, a taste of more that only adds to his ultimate dream.
"I want to play NRL when I'm older, this has been my best season."
Not just Peschka's best season, but surely one of the best anywhere in the bush.
He'll get the chance to add to that impressive campaign in a couple of weeks when the Lachlan District grand finals are staged at Manildra.
The Group 10 junior league grand finals are this weekend, with five Orange sides in line for a crack at a premiership in 2019.
The deciders kick-off at 9.30am at Jack Arrow Oval in Bathurst with Bloomfield and Mudgee going head-to-head in the under 11s.
CYMS Green will take on CYMS Gold in the under 12s while Bloomfield has a side in the under 14s grand final and CYMS will get another crack at Lithgow's gun under 16s team in the big game at 3pm.
