Diego Pena is the Broncos’ defense-first catcher with a bat still warming up
In the 2026 season, Diego Pena has been a steady-handed catcher for Western Michigan, appearing in 15 games with four starts, while his 2025 season showed his real value: a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage in 83 chances and five runners thrown out stealing. He brings experience, toughness, and a low-drama profile behind the plate, with enough contact ability to contribute, though his current offensive production has lagged. If your team wants a reliable backstop who can handle pitchers and control the run game, Pena fits the bill.
