Derek Hernandez: 2B/SS, (2027) Bishop Hartley, OH. 5-foot-3, 126-pound. (54.3 mph bat speed average). (15.0 mph hand speed average). Began in a quiet stance with a compact load, then used a controlled stride. Bat speed is developing, displays a simple flat swing plane and high finish. Solid while in the infield, registered his best throw across the diamond at 66 mph; shows choppy feet, soft hands, and a natural exchange. Movements laterally were athletic and he fields the ball out front. Used a high ¾ slot with a consistent arm action.
