Last year Fangraphs told me I visited Jeremy Pena’s player page more than any other player page. (Hunter Brown was a close second.) That surprised me because I didn’t recall focusing special attention on Pena in my articles. But as I think about it, as the Astros’ shortstop, Pena is a particularly important part of the team, with both his offensive and defensive performances playing critical roles in the team’s results. And last year his performance was up and down over the course of the season, which probably explains why I was looking for continual updates on his statistics in 2024.
