Peña is a hold — a league-average bat with nothing pulling either way.

His expected wOBA is .325, .010 above the league average of .315, and he has 411 plate appearances — well past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual wOBA of .339 sits close enough to the expected mark that there is no luck story to sell and no bad-luck story to buy. The contact quality is similarly neutral: 88.4 mph average exit velocity and a 38.9% hard-hit rate, both within a hair of league. What separates him is the approach — a 17.4% swinging-strike rate against an 11% league average, a 38.4% chase rate against 28.5%, and a 5.6% walk rate against 8.5%. Those are real problems, but they have not moved his wOBA away from average, and his expected wOBA has been stepping up across the sample. No edge either way. Hold. 0 HR / 6 R / 3 RBI / 1 SB / .258 AVG is a drop-tier drag; hold only as deep-league middle-infield filler.
