"Daysbel Hernández has a live arm and has shown flashes of the type of stuff that could make any fan dream of him coming in during a big moment in a big game and pitching a shutdown inning in order to preserve the lead. However, he's found it pretty difficult to put it all together in terms of control and command. He also hasn't had much of an opportunity"
"Hernandez was first called up in July 2023, and had an exciting debut where he struck out the side, but then three straight unremarkable outings and hit the shelf for pretty much the rest of the season with forearm inflammation. He was full yo-yo in 2024, getting recalled six separate times, but he pitched 18 really good innings in 16 appearances, with a 60 ERA-, 54 FIP-, and an 85 xFIP-"
Daysbel Hernández signed with the Braves from Cuba in 2017 and has remained with the organization throughout his professional career. He possesses a live arm and a high-whiff slider that can be unhittable in short bursts. Recurring control and command issues have prevented sustained big-league opportunity and consistent roster stability. He debuted in July 2023 with a strikeout-heavy outing but then missed time with forearm inflammation. In 2024 he oscillated between levels, producing strong peripherals across 18 innings. Expectations for 2025 centered on improved command and a chance to secure a middle-relief role.
