Scouting Report
7.31.19
Herrera has the ideal athletic frame for a versatile catcher at 6-foot-2, 180-pounds. He moves well and carries that fluidity into his playing movements. He put on a nice show from behind the plate, making exceptionally smooth transfers and quick releases with firm accuracy down to 2B, and staying consistent on sharp pop times ranging 1.92-2.22. At the plate he made firm contact and shot balls all around his pull side. There is a lot of room for growth in his body and it makes the swing even more interesting. Ran a 7.13 60-yard dash and was up 89 mph on exity velocity.
