Pena

Peña celebrated the promotion by homering in his first at-bat on Tuesday night. The 18-year-old prodigy has ascended top top-10 prospect status from a dynasty standpoint after batting .307/.374/.470 with six homers and 40 steals in 71 games for Low-A Carolina in his stateside debut. He projects as a future five-category impact fantasy contributor and is already one of the top prospects in baseball.

Peña has blossomed into one of the top prospects in the dynasty landscape over the last few months, slashing a sublime .307/.365/.497 with six home runs and 32 stolen bases over 46 games as one of the youngest players in the entire Carolina League. The 18-year-old prodigy has ascended to top-10 range prospect for dynasty purposes — along with organization mate Jesús Made — based entirely on his power/speed combination and production for his age and level. He’s checked every metaphorical box in his extremely impressive stateside debut.

Peña was involved in an ugly collision at first base during Sunday’s game at Low-A Carolina and will get some extra time off to rest and recover out of an abundance of caution. The 18-year-old prodigy has been one of this season’s fastest-rising prospects from a dynasty standpoint as one of the Carolina League’s top hitters, slashing .327/.400/.505 with three homers and 21 steals through 25 games.
