Allen
Hernandez

Physical: Broad-shouldered, XL 6-foot-2, 220lb frame with raw strength. 8.15 runner in the 60.

Offensively: RHH - Wider, slightly bent stance outside shoulder-width, as the hands showed loose rhythm by the ear. Utilized a barrel-tip and short leg-lift stride to generate a loud, heavy uphill path through the hitting zone. Recorded a 97 mph bat-exit velocity using wood, up to a 348 foot distance during a mostly middle of the field approach. Firm front-side that blocked off properly, extended well over the plate, and did damage on the low pitch. Cleanup type down the road.

Defensively: The first baseman featured great body control for his size, bouncing around the bag with attacking footwork. Twisted his body in-line towards the target after picking a short-hop on one rep, staying fluid in the posture. Ran it up to 90 mph across the diamond from H ¾ slot.

Pitching: RHP - Began off the right corner of the rubber, taking his time in the tempo to find a balanced stack position. Clean lower half drive and direct arm-path to the plate from a power slot. The FB showed heavy life at 86-88, T89 mph (10 inches HM) and turned over a sweeping upper-70’s curveball for strikes. Then flashed a good 76-77 mph CH with wicked arm-side fade, profiling as a future out-pitch.

Hernandez stands at 6-foot-1, 210-pounds. Real strong and broad-shouldered frame. Ran the 60 yard dash in 7.88 seconds and recorded an exit velo of 97 MPH, one of the tops at the event. Balanced stance. Small, hanging stride. Present bat rhythm. Hands move directly back during his load. Smooth weight transfer. Clear barrel awareness. Hands get through the zone. Impressive round, clear gap-to-gap power with more in the tank. Took defensive reps in the infield and recorded a top velo of 86 MPH on throws. Smooth, athletic footwork. Works around the baseball. Quick transfer. On the mound, Hernandez starts with his feet together and angled towards the third base line. Slow, high leg kick. Works deliberately while maintaining some rhythm. Even shoulder tilt. Lands slightly open at foot strike. FB worked at 82-84 MPH, topping at 85 MPH. CB was 65-68 MPH with 11/6 shape, tendency to back up on him. CH displayed some occasional late run at 71-75 MPH.

6-foot-1, 200-pound solid frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter showed his power ability with an exit velocity of 91 mph, which was one of the highest of the event. Sets up in a strong stance and uses a leg kick.  Shows explosive bat speed, as well as an uphill swing plane and high finish. Up the middle approach. Behind the plate, pop time was registered at 2.16-2.25. His strong arm produced efficient throws to second at velocities up to 78 mph; has rhythmic footwork. In the infield, made throws at velocities up to 79 mph; has soft hands and a quick clean exchange. Showed a loose arm action and a high ¾ slot. In the 60-yard dash, he recorded a time of 8.68. On the mound, he uses a long arm action and a high ¾ angle. Has even shoulders and a strong balance point off the mound. Lands square. When pitched in sequence with fastball, his changeup (74-77 mph) can keep hitters off balance. Sat with his fastball at 82-84 mph and topped out at 84 mph; shows some late life. Had in the zone command on his 10/4 curveball (68-70).
