Scouting Reports
-
Relative to other high profile prospects in the class, Peña is shorter in stature, but he has a strong, sturdy build and impressed scouts highest on him for a well-rounded skill set. He hit well in games in Venezuela, with good bat speed and an aggressive swing, making frequent contact while also showing extra-base juice. He's a good athlete with a strong arm and plus speed, though with his body type he might slow down. He should start his development as a shortstop, though some scouts think he might end up at second base or in center field. The D-backs are expected to sign Peña, who trains with Francisco Ortiz.
