Eloy Hernandez
Starting Pitcher | Cobourg Stampeders
Pitching He produces tons of groundballs with his downward movement. Hernandez can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He has an above-average changeup and the ability to throw from a variety of arm angles. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. 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.
2025 Outlook If Hernandez doesn't perform, the Cobourg Stampeders won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Cobourg Stampeders are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
