Ray Hernandez
Starting Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Hernandez, and that's saying a lot. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Hernandez helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Hernandez is agile on the mound, though he makes needless errors when his concentration wanders. Hernandez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hernandez has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Hernandez as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
