Pena was picked in the third round of the 2018 MLB draft by the Astros. The MLB team put him on their 40-man roster on November 19, 2021. After Carlos Correa's departure from Houston to become a free agent, Pena was named as the starting shortstop for spring 2022 training.
On Opening Day 2022, he made his MLB debut against the Los Angeles Angels. Looking at Pena's career trajectory, he has found success in the rookie season itself. However, he has a long way to go in his MLB career.
