Overall: Hernandez was part of the Mets 2017 international class. He signed for $1.5 million. Hernandez packs a lot of power into his compact frame with a loud power tool and one of the quicker bats in the organization. A hamstring injury has limited him to just four games stateside and because of that he remains a bit of an unknown to our staff and contacts as none have seen him play personally to this point. He runs well enough to play center but isn't a strong defender in the outfield and is likely destined for left field. Needs to find a way to tap into that raw power and strength while making more contact. Long, uppercut swing will lead him vulnerable to the swing and miss, especially against high spin clubs.
