Herst has a prototype frame for a young, projectable pitcher at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, a tall, lean build with a fast arm. His velocity trended up throughout the year, mostly pitching in the upper 80s and scraping 90 mph during the summer before a bigger jump in July at Prep Baseball Report’s Future Games, where he touched 93 mph. There should be more velocity in the tank and he throws a lot of strikes with his fastball from a sound delivery into a low three-quarters slot. Herst has feel to manipulate multiple secondary pitches as well, flashing a good slider and a changeup with good sink and run at times.
