The Braves drafted Herick Hernandez, a 5'10", 205-pound college lefty with a 95 MPH fastball and high vertical break. Although his stats at Miami weren't stellar, his 95 strikeouts in 70.1 innings show promise. With potential as a reliever due to secondary pitch development, he brings raw talent in his fastball.
Atlanta targeted Hernandez based on his fastball's unique qualities despite lacking in other areas. The team aims to bolster his secondaries, making this a strategic pick with financial constraints in mind. Hernandez's strong strikeout records suggest a reliable acquisition for the Braves.
