7/10/24

After showing well at the Rock Summer Championships 15U and claiming a title at Grand Park during the Grand Park Summer Championships, Hernandez showed well again - this time at the PBT Wisconsin Open. After the previous looks at the electric right-hander, Hernandez’s stuff was on par with what was expected from him. After mounting a comeback against the squad they would eventually claim the weekend’s championship against, Hernandez’s relief appearance on Friday was dominant as he closed the door to secure a 6-5 victory. Over that one inning, Hernandez ran his fastball up to 84 mph and showed his wipeout slider, recording a strikeout in the process. Without allowing a hit, Hernandez’s first showing helped put CRB into the bracket games on Sunday. In his second appearance against MBA, Hernandez was dominant as he recorded six K’s over six innings of work. The wiry, 5-foot-10 RHP allowed two runs on just three hits which culminated in an 18-2 victory to win the tournament. The look from New Trier’s ‘27 graduate keeps him as a high-follow in Illinois as the summer circuit continues on.

Hernandez produced one of the most intriguing looks of the weekend on Thursday night in his start for CRB 2027. Listed at 5-foot-11, 140 pounds, the right-handed arm has plenty of room to fill in over the coming years and showed a wiry frame that contained athleticism. Hernandez filled the nightcap with fastballs in the mid-80s, a couple of which reached 86 mph. With his fastball sitting 82-85 mph, Hernandez complimented the advanced pitch with a tight curveball at 67-70 mph that moved across the zone and landed for outs. With the strong performance, Hernandez becomes a name-to-watch throughout the summer and into his next few high school seasons.
