Herrera

9/23/18 - Rising Stars Showcase - Five-foot-7, 150-pounds, large frame with a strong, thick lower half and developing form and strength in the upper half and large feet. Herrera shows an upright, slightly open setup at the plate where he uses a short stride to time his swing. Has a present quick bat while he maintains his barrel on a consistent plane through the hitting zone. Flashes some present pop that could develop into over-the-fence power in the future. Maintains barrel on a slightly uphill swing path through his swing resulting in consistent barrel contact. On the infield Herrera shows some athletic movement with fair footwork and average range to both sides. The arm shows the ability to make throws from multiple angles with some accuracy and life. On the mound Herrera shows a short arm swing with an over-the-top release point. Arm speed is average and consistently repeatable through to the release point. Arm is compact in the back. Fastball worked up in the zone and to both sides of the plate. Changeup flashes some arm side run and slight sinking action into righties.
