Felix Pena has toiled in anonymity for the better part of three years as a starter at Kane County, Daytona, and Tennessee. Now that he is a reliever at AAA Iowa, suddenly people have taken notice of his talents. At 26, Pena has taken a long, slow road to get to Des Moines.
Originally, Pena was signed by Jim Hendry in 2009 and made his stateside debut in 2011 at Boise. Since then, he has basically gone up a level a year for five years from Boise to Peoria to Kane county to Daytona to Tennessee and now to Iowa.
