LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2023 West Academic Showcase (Tues-Wed)
Gerardo Kalel Hernandez is a 2024 RHP/1B, 2B, 3B, IF with a 5-10 152 lb. frame from Imperial, CA who attends Imperial. Medium size, slender athletic frame. Primary right handed pitcher with a true four pitch-mix on the mound. Worked exclusively out of the stretch with a high leg kick and drop and drive mechanics that featured advanced body control and a three-quarter arm slot. Fastball up to 86 with late movement and command to all parts of the strike zone. Two distinct breaking balls with high spin profiles and sharp break that missed bats. Maintained arm speed on the change up with late fade. Four really quality offerings that he can throw for strikes and the athleticism to really develop on the mound. In the infield showed fundamental footwork, some ability to move laterally and an above average throwing arm across the diamond. Hit from a wide base with a pull side approach, level bat path that stays on top of the baseball with developing feel for the barrel. Named to West Academic Top Prospect List. Excellent student.
