ACG Tryout - Athletic actions all around. Strong, lean build. Blocked and received exceptionally and had the strongest catcher�s arm at the event (83 mph) with a 2.06-2.08 pop time. Could quicken his transfer. Offensively, Fernandez sports a flat stroke with gap to gap power. Ran a 6.96 second 60 yard dash.
Bay Area World Series 2022 - Uncommitted; Strong build with lean sinewy body composition, body immediately draws favorable impression, one of more talented 2-way (w/two defensive position versatility) players in 2024 class in Northern CA, catching tools compare favorably with top catchers in the state, 79 mph max C throw and 89 mph max OF throw, low pop down to 1.94 though there is some variance and some short hops showed he can sync up his feet and release better, accurate OF arm with strong ball-tracking skills, ran 6.89 60-yd, flat stroke with gap to gap pop, 90.6 max EV, 60% sweet spot % showed the focus on barrel contact, 50% line drives and 30% fly balls, on mound flashes stuff and a potentially powerful delivery, FB maxed 85 mph (81-84), 2422 max spin is a very favorable number (the OF throw carry translates to the FB on mound), worked up in zone and the spin can be effective there though the release height (6.0 avg) is a touch high to be able to work up and get swings, CB 73-76 mph w/2428 avg spin, there were some offerings that also looked to be a cutter and may not have been tagged in TrackMan accurately, plenty to work with on mound, going to junior season looks to be a strong two-way varsity player and overall profile beyond HS is TBD, though the position player tools suggest that's likely to be behind the plate or in CF/RF.
at Justin-Siena HS - Long and lean with streamlined athletic body type, played RF in this game, hit in the 3-spot in order, closed well on a 'dying quail' in front of him with a slide to get under the ball and make the catch, showed to be highly competitive and ready to hit on pitches in the zone, flat stroke with good timing, has some extension through contact and hints of strength that will produce extra base hit power as he matures.
Positional Profile: RHP
2 IP; E6, 1-3, K, L8, K, F8, 5-3, F1
Body: 6-1, 162-pounds. Lean strength throughout, streamlined athletic body.
Delivery: standard straight up and down wind up. Minimal horizontal movements. Gets over the rubber very well and rides his line downhill. Front foot lands slightly closed causing him to work across a stiff front leg at times.
Arm Action: RH. Separates just above his belt, bringing the ball to thigh height. Good arm circle back into a straight over the top release point.
FB: T80, 76-79 mph. Works downhill. Commands the bottom of the zone well. Gets on hitters. Above average spin rate (2093) helps to keep hitters off balance.
SL: 71-73 mph. Tight rotation. Comes out of the same slot as his FB. Has late depth that works away from right handed hitters. Swing and miss pitch.
CH: 73-75 mph. Throws it with the same arm speed as his fastball. Has a parachute/horizontal run arm side that produces a lot of weak contact.
Positional Profile: C/OF - One of top overall talents at the event
Hit: RHH. Wide even feet, off the plate, medium depth in the box, slight crouch, small lift out to short stride, lowers hands during fairly deep load. Flat stroke, uses middle of field well which showed in BP and game at-bats, both bat speed and hand speed play, has present power with promise for more in the future.
Power: 92.3 max exit velocity, 72.3 max bat speed, 23.9 max hand speed, 70.1 on-plane efficiency avg.
Arm: RH. C - 78 mph. OF - 82 mph. Quick strong arm, catcher throws carried on line to the bag, OF arm action is clean with small circular backside, outstanding accuracy.
