LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Puerto Rico National Showcases Qualifier
Jehiel Hernández is a 2027 C/2B/IF with a 5-7 144 lb. frame from Cabo Rojo, PR who attends Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy. Smaller young build. Right handed hitter, hits from a wide base with a short stride into contact, stays balanced and under control well with nice timing to his swing, has fast hands that create some bat speed and barrel whip, very consistent hard middle of the field contact, has hitting tools to continue to develop if he can keep getting stronger. 7.17 runner in the sixty. Primary catcher on defense, sets up high in his stance, lower arm slot that impacts his accuracy, looks relatively new to catching with his mechanics and ability to repeat. Also worked out in the infield and showed more confidence there, moves well to the ball and fields it comfortably, second base actions. Excellent student.
