California State Games - One of the better two-way players at the event and frankly, one of the better two-way players in Northern CA. Smooth and exceptional as a defensive first baseman. Handles bat well too, flat swing, all fields, smooth (there is that word again) stroke, tall and rangy but has outstanding body control. The name Shawn Green has popped into my head when watching him as a position player. On the mound he's got three quality pitches that play off each other, with the CHG being his best offering. Can land the big CB, is gaining steam on the heater (T84 mph) and the CHG fades off the FB look. Oh, he's also got one of the best pick-off moves in the state and controls the running game very well.
Positional Profile: LHP/1B Hermes could project in the field or on the mound. A tall frame with pretty much no limits with a low 7s 60 makes him somewhat like a unicorn.
Body: 6-5, 171-pounds. Tall lanky build, tons of room to add weight.
Delivery: Gets downhill fast. Hands go up as leg comes up and break as he goes to plant.
Arm Action: LH. Shorter arm action, looks to use the tall frame to fulcrum weight forward. 3/4 slot.
FB: T84, 80-83 mph. Fastball tails arm side. Works well outside half to RHH followed by a tunneled CH. T2248, 2155 average rpm.
CB: 72-74 mph. Not too much vertical drop but keeps hitters on their toes by backdooring it for a strike. T1964, 1820 average rpm.
CH: 79-79 mph. Really good dive and depth. Shows like a FB out of the hand and instead of tailing it dives. T1839, 1839 average rpm.
ATH: 7.17 runner in the 60. 1.69 and 3.93 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Body: 6-5, 171-pounds. Tall lanky build, tons of room to add weight.
Hit: LHH. Wide feet, hands low and close to body. Slightly closed off. Loads straight back, a small stride. Steps inward. Good barrels. 65.5 mph bat speed with 19 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 95 max exit velocity, averaged 84.0 mph. 305' max distance.
Arm: LH. INF-77 mph. Shortened arm path compared to the mound. whips the ball across the field.
Defense: Good footwork and is always mobile on his feet.
ATH: 7.17 runner in the 60. 1.69 and 3.93 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
Event: Peninsula Preseason ID
Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Physical: 6-4, 170-pounds; 7.40 60-yard, 25.1” max jump height; Long and lanky, angular build, maintains body control and has athleticism while still having strength gains ahead.
Delivery: Hands low at waist, medium size rocker into quick sharp knee lift over rubber, works from middle of rubber, stride goes down and out smoothly with control, lead arm creates opportunity for leverage, plant foot lands flat then tends to spin off as the backside comes through, maintains center of body control.
Arm Action: Clean smooth circle on backside with no restrictions, loose arm, works easy, gets to 3/4 release, full deceleration finish sets up the FB/CHG combo well.
FB: T81.1 mph, 78-80 mph range, 2238 max spin; Smooth sliding action to arm side, plane is a bit flat coming from the 3/4 release, able to get the FB to glove side location with consistency, hints of spin suggest that the flatter plane can be effective up in zone as he gains velocity.
CB: 69-71, 1731 max spin; Smooth sweeping break, continuous tumble through zone, can throw to both sides, third of his three pitches but enough feel to use effectively as a show and strike stealing offering.
CHG: 72-75 mph, 1559 avg spin; Big mover on arm side, comes from same release as FB and CB, finishes well, big deceleration off the FB and the two pitches play well off each other, change comes out with confidence.
Offensively: LH. EV max – 86.5 mph, hand speed max – 24.5 mph, bat speed max – 66.4 mph; Even stance with wide feet, quiet actions in box, small stride, loads straight back into deep position, slashing stroke, stays above ball, line drive swing plane, keeps head on ball with barrel control in multiple locations, swing/approach suggest high average and a tough out.
Defensively: 1B – 77 mph; Smooth feet, soft hands with high level confidence in the hands, gets ball out quickly and accurately, moves around back with feel and nuance for the position, well-above average and potentially plus defender in future, sound defensive mechanics both at the bag with footwork and on balls in play.
