Jeremy Peña was one of the Houston Astros' breakout stars and biggest success stories in what was an otherwise disappointing 2025 campaign. For years, the Astros had waited for the shortstop to reach his full potential, hoping that his bat would catch up with his glove and elevate him to superstar status.
That's exactly what happened, as the 28-year-old earned his first All-Star nod and a Silver Slugger nomination. Peña finally vaulted himself from a slick fielding shortstop with some wheels on the basepaths, but just a roughly average bat, to a player who can impact the game in all facets.
