| Summary: Hernandez is an athletic righthanded hitter with leverage in his swing and above-average raw power. He works mostly to the right-center gap with a compact, powerful stroke, though added aggression to the pull side could unlock even more impact. The bat-to-ball skills are solid, and he pairs them with patience and plate discipline that give him a chance to hit for both average and power as his approach sharpens. Defensively, Hernandez offers versatility across the infield and corner outfield spots. He’s likely to settle on the dirt, with second or third base fitting best, though his arm strength and athleticism allow him to handle right field when needed. A former two-way player, the arm still shows above-average traits, and the overall tools package gives him multiple avenues to contribute. With strength already present and room to refine the swing, Hernandez projects as a versatile, power-capable bat who can fit a number of lineup spots. | |||||||||||
