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.
