Brayden Hernandez (Montgomery, 2026) had a strong showing, especially on the mound. His fastball topped out at 83 mph with excellent carry, consistently producing over 20 inches of induced vertical break (IVB). He paired it with an upper-60s breaking ball that featured spin rates north of 2500 rpm, showing good depth and room to improve with added power. Hernandez also demonstrated good feel for his changeup, which worked effectively off his fastball. With plenty of strength to gain, Hernandez is poised to add velocity and continue developing into a standout arm.
