Peng's value extends beyond the plate, as he is equally adept as a catcher and outfielder. However, his power statistics, including a .120 ISO and 6 home runs, reveal potential for improvement in that facet of his game. When compared to previous catchers on the roster, Peng offers a more formidable presence at the plate, particularly considering Dick van Capelle's departure and potential changes to the catcher lineup. The Pilots will now have the opportunity to strategically integrate Peng's skills alongside other catchers, potentially paving the way for a revitalized offensive approach in the upcoming season.
