Jeremy Peña (born 1997) is a Dominican professional baseball shortstop for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball. Born and raised in Santo Domingo, he moved to Providence, Rhode Island, at the age of nine and played college baseball at the University of Maine before the Astros chose him in the third round of the 2018 draft. He debuted in 2022 as the club's starting shortstop after Carlos Correa left, and that season became the first rookie shortstop to win a Gold Glove Award and the first to hit a home run in the World Series. He was named most valuable player of both the American League Championship Series and the World Series as Houston won the championship, becoming the third rookie ever to be World Series MVP. His father Gerónimo also played in the majors, and in 2025 Jeremy was named to his first All-Star Game.
