Houston Astros star rookie and World Series MVP Jeremy Pena is enjoying insane fandom post the 2022 MLB season. Now, in an interesting turn of events, former MLB player and sports commentator Harold Reynolds called the 25-year-old Astros shortstop the next-gen Derek Jeter.
As per Paper City Magazine, a lifestyle news publication, Harold Reynolds said:
"He’s the next Derek Jeter in the game folks. Good looking. Young. Talented. Those are the kind of guys you put on a billboard."
"I literally love Jeremy Peña." - Space Lawyer
The parallels which Harold drew between Jeremy and Jeter make a lot of sense. Throughout his illustrious MLB career, Yankees standout and Hall of Famer Derek Jeter has amassed a massive fan base.
When Derek made his MLB debut with the Yankees in 1997, he had all the looks, talent, and poise to emerge as a legend. Similarly, rookie Pena has got good looks, immense talent, and the youth to shine in the MLB in the long run.
