What, If Anything, Happened to Jeremy Peña?

Look, anyone's judgment could be clouded by Jeremy Peña's 2022 postseason. Because his 2022 regular season wasn't anything to sneeze at, certainly nothing to indicate he was the heir-apparent to Carlos Correa, absolutely nothing to indicate that there was an ALCS and World Series MVP coming the next month.

Sure, he had 20 doubles and 22 home runs as a rookie. 149 other MLB players had done that. Two other guys did it in 2022 alone (Julio Rodriguez and Bobby Witt). Five dudes had done it in 2021. Eight guys did it in 2023, including the Catcher Who Can't Be Found Yainer Diaz.
