Biographical Information

Alonso Tenya has played for the Peruvian national team. He is the brother of Francisco Tenya.

He was on Peru's squad that won Bronze in the 2015 South American Championship. He hit .538 as a junior college freshman in the US in 2016. He was 1 for 4 with a walk for Peru in the 2016 South American Championship and posted a 4.15 ERA in four games, losing to Argentina. He and Edson Piovan had Peru's only hits against Brazil's Vitor Souza. He batted .318 as a sophomore.

Transferring to Mercy College, he hit .171/.216/.200 as a junior. As a senior, he was used as a pitcher (0-2, Sv, 7.47). He backed up Daniel Shimura in right field in the 2019 Pan American Games, Peru's first baseball appearance in the Pan American Games. He went 0 for 4 and did not handle a chance in the field. He also pitched briefly, relieving Ken Ishihara in the 5th against Nicaragua with the bases loaded, one out and a 3-0 deficit. He gave up a two-run single to Edgard Montiel, struck out Luis Alen, gave up a RBI single to Benjamín Alegría and walked Norlando Valle. Jose Herrera took over and let all three urns score, leaving Tenya with a 81.00 ERA. It was the 4th-highest in the games after Diego Echeverría, Dewin Pérez and teammate Kevin Yamamoto.
