Jeremy Peña News
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena homered on Sunday as part of a two-hit performance in a win for the American League West club. Houston completed a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees with the result as Pena drove in three runs and scored two more in the deciding game. The rookie shortstop was named American League Championship Series MVP after hitting .353 with a pair of home runs in 17 plate appearances against the Yankees during the series. Overall this postseason, Pena is batting .303 with a .324 on-base percentage and three home runs. He hit .253 with a .289 on-base percentage, 22 home runs, and 11 stolen bases in 558 regular season plate appearances earlier this year.
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena was the only source of offense in Saturday's Division Series game three 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners. He went 1-for-8, but his lone hit was an 18th-inning home run that sent his club to the next round. Pena's had a solid three games thus far in the postseason, batting .250 with a .794 OPS. The rookie did a good job taking over shortstop for the Astros during the regular season, slashing .253/.289/.426 with 22 homers, 72 runs, 63 RBI, and 11 steals over 136 games. Manager Dusty Baker likes batting Pena in the two-hole, so the 25-year-old should be a solid source of runs and RBI going forward.
Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena (knee) exited Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Phillies early after fouling a ball off his knee. X-rays were negative, but he will not play in Wednesday's regular-season finale, per MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. The 25-year-old went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, and a strikeout before exiting. Pena had a solid overall rookie season both for the Astros and from a fantasy perspective, slashing .253/.289/.426 with 22 HR, 63 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 558 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should get to see some more of him throughout the playoffs.

Pena's rookie season did not leave many Astros fans missing the departed Carlos Correa, especially after his performance in the World Series. During the regular season, Pena slashed a solid .253/.289/.426 with 22 homers and 11 steals. The loaded offense around him bolstered him to 72 runs and 63 RBI despite the fact that he was a bottom-third hitter last season. Now we find Pena going around pick 100 in drafts at a loaded shortstop position. The good news with Pena was that he managed strikeouts (24%) and stole enough bases to be a positive in that category. The bad news is that his barrel rate was more "good" than "great" at 9.6% - and he doesn't hit the ball very hard with a max exit velocity of 110.5 and a lower 36% hard-hit rate. Pena feels like a safe bet to hit 20 homers and steal 10-15 bags again this year, which is certainly useful in fantasy, but there are fair questions about whether or not his ceiling is good enough to be a top 120 pick as a guy unlikely to start many games in the top five sports of the lineup.
