Let’s forget Jeremy Peña is Carlos Correa’s replacement, and there was a void-filling scenario in the environment. Let’s focus on the fact that he’s a 24-year-old rookie serving as the everyday shortstop of a team that only takes winning and aims at the World Series season after season – way different from being the regular shortstop of, say, the Pirates or the Reds.
Having said that, Peña has been outstanding for the Astros. Before telling you guys an incredible stat, let’s start with the basics. Peña got to Saturday with 45 MLB games under his belt and 45 hits, seven doubles, a triple, and eight home runs.
