We’ve chronicled the progress of shortstop prospect Jeremy Pena very thoroughly here at The Crawfish Boxes.

Currently patrolling the infield dirt for Estrellas Orientales in the Dominican Republic’s LIDOM, Pena has been a breakout star on the winter ball scene of late, answering what few questions remained about him as a player and solidifying his status as a top prospect.
Most Astros fans likely know the broad strokes of Pena’s story by now.
