WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| Hernandez was born in New York but signed out of the Dominican. He’s athletic and, since he signed, his fastball has reached 95-96 mph. He also throws a change and curve, with the change being possibly the better pitch.
2021 In his DSL debut, Hernandez served as a starter and probably pitched a lot better than his ERA, as he was plagued by an extremely low strand rate. His WHIP wasn’t horrible and he had a good K rate. Hernandez will likely be in the Gulf Coast League in 2022. |
