David Hernandez (55)

Pitch #1: Fastball, low to mid 90`s.  Very heavy fastball that sinks to the arm side. Late movement on it.  Controls it to both sides of the plate.

Pitch #2: Slider, high 70`s – low 80`s.  Real heavy slider that has nice sweep too it with tight rotation.  A plus pitch that hitters struggle to hit because of its late movement and the weight of it.  Has great control on it.  Can bury it on the hands of left-handed hitters.  Has a lot of confidence in it, and throws uses it against hitters from both sides of the plate.

Delivery: From the stretch, stands on the third base side of the rubber.  Real easy and smooth delivery, with a belt high leg lift and three quarters arm slot. Very little effort.

Control: East to west pitcher, has great control and confidence in his pitches.  Does a great job of keeping the ball down in the zone.

Poise: Has great poise and confidence on the mound.  Perfect late inning demeanor, aggressive on the mound and able to go pitch to pitch without dwelling on mistakes.

Physical Description: Real intimidating on the mound with a sturdy frame and muscular upper body.  Large shoulders and chest, with good muscle distribution throughout his body.  Short upper body compared to his legs.

Projection: Setup man, who can close if he has too but is best suited as an eighth inning guy.  Can get out batters from both sides of the plate, and throws consistent strikes.
