What, Pena’s ’08 was so disappointing – no stolen bases! Ok, ok, we kid.
Pena added 14 extra base hits and 14 singles to his 2007 production at the plate. That’s some kind of progress. Pena is a strong kid with plus raw power, don’t forget he’s just 18.
On the other side of the ball, Savannah pitchers and coaches were unanimous that his work behind the dish, in both game calling and the mechanics of catching had made major improvements since 2007 as well. Pena has the arm for catcher – but he threw out just 23% of basestealers against him.
Pena must get serious about his weight and get himself in better shape. Doing so will help his agility behind the dish and at the plate.
Likely ’09 start: A+
