Taking a closer look at SS prospect José Tena

I’m so excited to write about one of my favorite prospects in the Guardians’ system today. I’ve been watching José Tena play since he debuted in Lake County in 2021. His swing and the way he plays defense has always been so fun to watch for me. When you watch him hit, you can see that he hits the ball hard, but before he reached AAA, I didn’t know just how hard he really does hit the ball. Just yesterday he hit a home run with an exit velocity of 112.1 mph, that would be the hardest hit ball by any Guardians player this season.
