The massive (6-foot-4, 233 pounds) Hernandez was arguably Houston’s best hitter in 2021. He tailed off late in the season to finish with a .287/.345/.497 stat line with a team-best 11 home runs. Unlike many of this year’s college draft prospects, Hernandez demonstrated the ability to hit with wood in the Texas Collegiate League last summer. He was the TCL’s player of the year as he led the league in batting average (.364) and home runs (nine). Hernandez has some feel to hit but his average power and below-average defense will make him a tough fit in pro ball.
