6.19.18 Long lean projectable frame at 6-foot-1, 150-pounds. In the infield, he has fluid movements throughout his approach to his release. Herd works from around the baseball, and plays through the ball with his body well, and this leads to highly accurate throws at 83 mph. He has a clean exchange and a quick release, especially while making the play on the run. Herd ran a 7.09 laser-timed 60. At the plate, he works from a tall stance, utilizes a short stride with a small weight shift in his hips, and has a short path to the baseball. He popped an 82-mph top exit velo off the tee. Herd’s athleticism, fundamentals, and the smoothness in his actions project him to be able to stay in the middle of the infield, or play strong defense on either corner of the infield.
