Eric Hernandez, Ruben S. Ayala (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: SS/2B SS profile defender who shows solid toolset at a premium spot while adding strength in his offensive profile and an intriguing ceiling.
Body: 5-10, 157.9-pounds. Medium present frame with some strength to it showing room to continue adding.
Hit: RHH. Balanced set up with even feet and bend in his knees with a slight hinge at his hips. High back elbow with hands at ear height over the rear shoulder and barrel angled towards 3B coaches box. Slight shift back with a double toe tap in the load into his forward move. Balanced at lauch with a quick turn that uses his hips and rear shoulder drives through contact. Uphill bat path with hands working up through the ball to his finish. 65.6 mph bat speed with 8 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 91.1 mph. 350' max distance. Shows strong present top end exit velocity with feel to consistently hit the ball hard in the air. There is carry to his contact showing pull side HR power with gap to gap doubles.
Arm: RH. INF-80 mph. Quick short arm path with solid present arm strength showing accuracy to his throws. There is SS potential here with ability to throw from different slots.
Defense: Plays low with good feet, rhythm into and through the ball with soft hands. Consistent with his transfer and can play laterally/downhill. Projects to stick at SS.
ATH: 7.15 runner in the 60. 1.78 and 4.02 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Drives off the line with quickness throughout and ability to maintain his line. 25.70 max vertical.
