2026 Fantasy Outlook
Pena's 2024 and 2025 seasons look somewhat similar in the counting categories until you realize he nearly equaled or bested most of them in more than 100 fewer plate appearances. Pena was limited to 125 games due to a fractured rib and a left oblique strain later in the season. Pena was pacing to a career season at the plate across the board, but fantasy managers likely were most surprised by the nearly 40-point improvement in his batting average after witnessing him average .261 over the previous three seasons. Pena continues to be a high-contact hitter but accepted a few more walks when he was not crushing fastballs. Pena hit half his home runs off fastballs along with having a .350 average (.323 xBA) against fastballs, but that success came at the peril of him hitting .182 while swinging and missing at nearly 50 percent of the off-speed pitches he saw. A fully healthy Pena has 30-30 potential with his home park, his pull tendencies and road games in Sacramento on the schedule in 2026. He's a five-category producer who, so far, does not carry the price tag associated with such players. Read Past Outlooks
