The thing about Hernandez is that outside of his 2022 season he's just been ass. Once he showed that he isn't a SP they moved him to the pen last year and he was pretty much ass there too.
Pitched in 67 games and all but 4 were from the pen. He had a 5.27 ERA 1.329 WHIP. He was able to get some strikeouts and had 9.9/SO9.
I just don't see him doing much of anything.
Walter Pennington needs to be the next guy up. He's dominating AAA. He's pitched 37 innings with a 1.93 ERA, a 0.86 WHIP, only 12 walks, and the most impressive thing about it is he has 60 strikeouts in only 37 innings pitched. He has a fastball that he can get up to 95-96. He's not on the 40 man, but he absolutely should be up in the majors.
