Alex
Hernandez

1/28/18 - 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame with natural strentgh. Hit some fall very hard with elevation during his round of BP. Really gets out over his front leg in swing, lots of forward head movement. Could square the ball up more consistently by limiting that movement and staying behind the baseball. Possesses all the physical tools to really hit at some point; 82 mph exit velocity. Somewhat raw defensively as he takes a bit of a false step and doesn’t really gain ground on throws to second base. Possesses enough athleticism and arm strength to be solid defender behind the plate. Best pop of 2.17 with 68 mph velo using a longer arm action. 7.59 60-yard dash.

1/7/18 - 5-foot-11, 160-pound frame. Hernandez took one of the better rounds of BP at the event, showing impressive raw power for a freshman prospect. Loads his hands very deep, creating a near arm bar, before transferring weight out over his front side in swing. The ball flies off his bat, big power potential. Showed solid arm strength behind the plate with a catcher velo of 72 mph and best pop of 2.18. Arm strength is there to be a solid thrower, can work to clean up footwork and transfer. Also pitched; running his fastball up to 77 mph with very little effort and a clean arm action. Mixed in 65-67 mph breaking ball with 10-4 shape.
