3/28/25
INF Gabriel Herrera, Oswego, 2025 Aurora University signee. Currently ranked inside the top-230 in the state. Well-proportioned and strong 5-foot-8, 174-pound frame. Batted ninth and played shortstop for Oswego. Herrera showed advanced and natural actions defensively, and looked the part as a high-level middle infielder at the next level. He plays with athletic feet and moves well laterally with range up the middle. Herrera also showed confident hands and an accurate arm that can play from multiple angles.

Verbally committed to Aurora University.

3/15/24

Uncommitted. Started at second base and hit out of the nine-hole for the Panthers. Initially stood out in IO, boasting ultra-athletic and confident hands, quick/clean transfer with an advanced double-play turn. Translated over to the game, pre-pitch rhythm and ready to pounce, quick first step with range to both sides of his glove, clear feel for the position and has body control. The right-handed hitter has a short stroke that looks to spray the ball on a line, works to stay simple and put the bat on the ball. Intriguing prospect to follow moving forward.
