Carlos Felipe Peña (born May 17, 1978, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a left-handed first baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays. Peña is the eldest of four children born to Felipe and Juana Peña. The family moved to the United States from the Dominican Republic when Peña was 14, initially living with one of his uncles in Cape Cod: He graduated from Haverhill High School in 1995. He initially went to Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, but returned home after a semester and instead went to Northeastern University where he studied electrical engineering. As a collegiate player, he competed in the Cape Cod League, which showcases top amateur prospects every summer. He was a member of the Wareham Gatemen in 1997.
