Player Outlook
Jeremy Pena has failed to build upon a promising rookie season from 2022 which also featured ALCS and World Series MVP honors. He's been a reliable stats accumulator from a fantasy perspective, however, making him a solid starting option even at a robust position in shortstop. Pena finally began to take advantage of that elite sprint speed in jumping up to 20 stolen bases in 2024, and it's possible there's more in the tank there if he's able to refine his technique (he has just a 69 percent success rate over the last two seasons). He also cut down on the strikeouts for the second year in a row with a rate of just 17.4 percent in 2024, making Pena a solid bet for batting average even as he's a super aggressive hitter. While not a standout in any area, Pena makes for a viable option at shortstop once the bigger names are off the board.

    Rotowire

Pena and the Astros will enjoy a team day off Sunday before starting up a three-game home series against the Giants on Monday.

  • Astros' Jeremy Pena: Working on patience at plate

    Rotowire
    Pena has focused on being more selective with his swings this spring, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Pena adjusted his swing in preparation for the 2024 season, and this year, his focus has been laying off bad pitches in live batting practice. Across 1,842 career plate appearances, Pena has only a 4.9 percent walk rate but has still managed exactly a 100 wRC+. Despite this report, it is worth noting that Pena has not drawn a walk across 10 plate appearances in Grapefruit League action.

The 27-year-old posted 15 home runs and 20 stolen bases with a .266/.308/.394 slash line over 157 games in the 2024 regular season.

Overall, he's delivered a well-rounded line that includes a career-high 68 RBI and 16 steals.

    Rotowire

Over his past 10 games, the shortstop has tallied four multi-hit efforts with three homers and two steals. On the season, he is hitting .277 with 13 long balls, 59 RBI, 65 runs scored and 15 stolen bases across 520 plate appearances.

  • Astros' Jeremy Pena: Sets career high in steals

    Rotowire
    Pena went 0-for-4 with a stolen base Saturday against the White Sox. Pena saw his five-game hitting streak come to an end, but he still managed his 14th stolen base of the season to set a new career high. In contrast to 2023, he's been relatively efficient on the basepaths, going 14-for-19.

Overall, Pena's slash line is up to .278/.323/.400 with 11 homers, 55 RBI, 60 runs scored and 13 steals across 488 plate appearances this season.

    Rotowire
