    Lefthander Hector Hernandez has touched 90 mph with his fastball in the past, but has been mostly 86-88 this spring. He's 6-foot-1 and a thick 200 pounds and gets sink on his fastball, commands everything well and knows how to pitch. He has a loose arm, a good curveball and is working on a changeup. He has a calm, quiet demeanor off the mound and competes well between the lines. Scouts like the projection, and he could be the first Puerto Rican pitcher off the board.
