Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña is in a crucial offseason, before his third year for the Astros. Peña has seen the highest of highs - winning both ALCS & World Series MVP and becoming the first rookie shortstop to win a Gold Glove - and some lows in his first two major league seasons. Much of Peña’s offseason has been spent on swing adjustments that should help balance his home run power (26 combined in 2022), and his 2023 improvements to his batting average, walk rate and strikeout rate.
