Peña's Slump Threatens Astros | Houston Astros News

Jeremy Peña’s elite shortstop stats over the past two years—leading MLB in OPS+, batting average, and bWAR—make his recent slump all the more concerning for the Astros. Despite a brutal 10-game hitting streak and a dismal .106 average over his last 11 games, his career numbers remain staggering: .298 AVG, 134 OPS+, 28 steals, and a career-best 5.7 bWAR. The team’s record tanked during his slump (5-6), while they were 9-2 when he was hot. With strikeouts up and no clear cause, Houston desperately needs Peña to reclaim his form if they’re to stay competitive in the AL.
