Formerly the No. 7 ranked prospect in the Alberta 2021 class. Athletic backstop with plus-plus arm strength, reaching up to 88 mph from the chute with carry. Transfer is raw and long, but arm strength is obvious. Most throws sailed into center field on this look, but were much more accurate during game action at the Puma Classic last weekend. At the plate, the right-handed hitter consistently produced line drives with a top hand dominant swing. He showed better pop to his pull-side in batting practice, reaching up to 97.6 mph for a max exit velocity with a max distance of 371’. His speed is above-average as well, running to a 6.80 in the 60-yard dash. Overall, looks to have all the tools, just needs polish with how he gets to them.
2022 Puma Classic: Created some scouting buzz with a plus arm and on the money throws from behind the dish. Brings good energy. At the plate he produced three base hits, one for extras. Also runs well.
Listed at 6-feet, 155-pounds. The uncommitted 2021 has quietly emerged as one of the top 2021 prospects in Alberta. Behind the dish, he is fundamentally sound, creates good angles when blocking, moves side to side well, quick and athletic actions, soft hands, arm strength is there from the crouch. Herron was a standout at the plate as well during the Edmonton showcase, showed a very good gap to gap approach from the right side, good pitch recognition and does not try to do too much. Line drive swing with potential to add power as he continues to grow and add strength to current frame.
On the mound, Herron showed a good three pitch mix with a fastball in the low 80's, a breaking ball he was able to throw for strikes consistently along with a changeup with good arm side run. Quick arm with a short path and good extension when finishing.
