Herchenbach

Standing at 6-foot, 180 pounds, Herchenbach showed the ability to control his body well down the mound with a fluid tempo and slight drop/drive lower half. When moving downhill, Herchenbach tends to stride slightly across his body, creating a tough angle for would-be right-handed hitters, and yet he’s still able to clear his hips to the plate and create torque effectively. His fastball reached 84 mph and it played through the zone with arm-side action, averaging over 21 inches horizontal movement to the plate. Herchenbach also showed two quality change-of-pace offerings; an 11/5 curveball at66-69 mph, and a changeup that featured slight arm-side action, 73-75. Both offerings have the potential to develop into plus pitches with added arm speed and natural development in the coming years.
