Scouting Report

Assets
  • He has a strong arm, good hands and quick lateral movement, able to play short, third or the outfield. Impressive power for an infielder.
Flaws
  • Hernandez must learn to stay back on off-speed junk, especially when behind in the count, if he wants to lower his eye-popping strikeout numbers. He has merely average speed.
Career Potential
  • His lack of plate discipline has relegated him to a utility role.
