When the LA Angels lost Felix Pena to a torn ACL in early August, it ended the season of one of the very few bright spots of 2019. Pena served as a starter, reliever, and bulk guy in 2019, and a similar role in 2020 could be a huge boost for the Angels’ pitching staff.
While he had an up-and-down season, Pena was someone who operated extremely well behind an opener. Obviously he was the main contributor in the no-hitter on the night the team honored Tyler Skaggs, but Pena gave the team solid outings throughout the season.
