Physical Description: Short. Slight upper half but has some room to fill out. Solid athlete. Enjoys the game and plays with some flair in the field.
Hit: Low, open stance. Hands start high and above his head. Weight stays back until he steps into the pitch. Minimal leg kick as he closes. Bat gets through the zone quick; above-average or better bat speed. Swing geared toward line-drive contact and putting the ball in play. Mostly singles hitter. Good barrel control helps his high contract rate. Average or better eye but needs to wait for his pitch more often. Shows an ability to go the opposite way. Grade: 55
Power: Slight frame and poor use of lower half hinder his power projection. Needs to create more leverage. Has some gap power, but will likely never be an over-the-fence threat without a change in his approach. Has below to fringe-average raw power. Grade: 30
Field: Fluid actions in the field. Good footwork. Gets low and stays in front of the ball. Charges the ball. Moves well laterally, particularly to the right, and shows an ability to backhand the ball. Average at SS and above-average or better at 2B. Grade: 50
Arm: Quick transferer. Throws sidearm when going to his left or charging the ball. Throws 3/4 when deeper in the hole and in need of extra velocity. Above-average arm strength that plays at SS. Throws on-target in limited looks. Grade: 55
Run: Quick out of the box from the left hand side. Average times down the line; timed around 4.20 in several looks. Grade: 50
Overall: Tena possesses a lot of the qualities the Indians covet, including a better-than-average hit tool. He's farther down the organizational depth chart, but is not too dissimilar from the likes of Brayan Rocchio. Tena has a good chance to hit for average and does well enough in the field to eventually step into a starting lineup, assuming he can curb his aggressiveness at the plate as he navigates the minors. He could take a step forward if he gets to more power.
