Pena, the son of former big leaguer Geronimo Pena, is one of the top defensive infielders in the minor leagues. It's a glove that will play at the six at the highest level and, combined with his speed, give a relatively high floor of at least a major league utility player. At the plate, he's got a feel for contact and some pop that should play fringe average as he matures. Continued offensive development will give a future profile of a solid major league starting shortstop.
