"I’m starting the bat from a still position on my shoulder, but I’m still doing some kind of movement with the hands as I’m going," Pena said. "I’m not completely getting rid of the wag; It’s just kind of controlling it a little bit more." He'll hope to benefit at the plate this season with these adjustments.

With a .260 batting average on the season, Pena's 5 hits in 6 at-bats provide a significant boost to his overall numbers, including 24 doubles, 2 triples, and 10 home runs in 120 games played.
