Here's a look at everything you need to know about Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña, the rookie phenom who replaced Carlos Correa and won ALCS MVP.
He was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and played in college at the University of Maine. The Astros drafted him in the third round of the 2018 draft. Before being named the starter, he had just 122 at-bats in Class AAA. He is 24 and the son of former major leaguer Gerónimo Peña."Such a special young kid. Such an amazing infielder teammate. He’s blossoming into a silent leader for us. Just plays his heart out.
"We were expecting a guy that is gonna be good, but not that good. It looked like Jeremy, toward the end of the season, built up his confidence and played in the playoffs like he’s been in the big leagues forever." — Omar Lopez "He's very confident and he knows his ability. He's very level headed. He doesn't get too high, doesn't get too low. He stays focused.""Obviously, he's very talented. He can play defense, he can hit. He has everything we need from him. … He's very smart, very focused, very humble — he wants to learn." — Jose Altuve
"I liked him the day I saw him, a couple years ago," Baker said."When a ballplayer walks in a room, you can kind of tell right away. He doesn't even have to play, really. A lot of times you can walk in the room and say, ‘That kid looks like he can play.' … Then when you saw him play, then you see his face. You know that there's a good person in there and a very intelligent person in there.
