[[M]anuel]

The Dominican Jeremy Peña has needed just four games to convince the manager of the Houston Astros, Dusty Baker , that he is the ideal replacement for Puerto Rican Carlos Correa, who is close to becoming a free agent.

Before his arrival in the Major Leagues, Peña had shown that he had a bat with the ability to hit consistently and with strength on the ball, elements that he has shown on the field of play with the Astros.

In the four games that the shortstop has seen action so far, he has a .375 batting average, the result of the six hits he has connected in 16 official appearances, tied for the team lead with third baseman Alex Bregman.

Jeremy's forcefulness is evident in the fact that 50% of his hits have been extra-base hits, posting a .688 slugging percentage.

Among his hits, Peña registers two doubles (tied for the leadership of the Houston team) and a home run, through which he has produced a run and scored another two, while he has performed as first and second in the offensive order.

With a .412 on-base percentage, aided by his six hits and one walk, Peña has given his offense a chance to respond with him on the trails, something that is of great importance when filling a job. at the beginning of the lineup.

Jeremy has shown the ability to get on the bases and power on the post in these first four games, in which he helped the Astros get out the big door in three of those commitments against the Los Angeles Angels.
