The ex-A and the current first baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays is batting .202 with 26 HR and 78 RBI.
He's on the verge of hitting under .200 for the season which is also known as the Mendoza Line after the light hitting shortstop Mario Mendoza. In 1980, Mendoza hit .198 with over 400 AB for the Seattle Mariners. Mendoza finished his career with a .215 average.
Pena has 288 career home runs and he's drove in over 100 runs in the previous three seasons. His career batting average is .242.
Carlos needs to improve his batting average if the Rays have any chance to overtake the Yankees for 1st place in the AL East.
