Draft Prospects
-
School: Corona (Calif.) HS. Committed: Vanderbilt. Age At Draft: 19.1
Hernandez has been the top high school pitcher in the 2025 class for years and has only further solidified his status as his draft gets closer. He pitches in the low-to-mid 90s and touches 98 mph with a fastball that has good extension and might still have another tick of velocity coming as he fills out his athletic 6-foot-4 frame. Hernandez has an outstanding changeup, one of the best offspeed pitches in the country. It’s a definite plus pitch with heavy sink, lots of fade and typically at least 12 mph off his fastball. Hernandez shows feel for a hard curveball that he can spin above 2,700 rpm and should give him another swing-and-miss offering and began throwing a harder slider more during the 2024 showcase circuit. He has a sound delivery and athleticism that helps him repeat his mechanics to throw strikes. Hernandez is a two-way player who has flashed good bat-to-ball skills and power too, but his upside is most exciting on the mound, with the size, stuff and pitchability to develop into a high-end starter. -
