Hassan Pena (born March 25, 1985) is a right-handed pitcher for the Sultanes de Monterrey.
In the Cuban National Series, Pena pitched for the Metropolitanos and the Industriales. He was kept off of the Cuban national baseball team because he had relatives in the United States, and it was feared that he might defect. As a result, he defected in 2005.[1]
After attending Palm Beach Community College, he was selected by the Washington Nationals in the 13th round of the 2006 amateur draft.[2]
Pena did not play in the Nationals' system in 2006. He spent the 2007 season with the Vermont Lake Monsters in the short-season New York–Penn League. In 13 starts, he pitched 59⅓ innings, compiling a win-loss record of 4–5 and an ERA of 4.25. In 2008 he pitched for the Potomac Nationals and the Hagerstown Suns, and in 2009 he pitched for the GCL Nationals and Hagerstown.
