Donald Hernandez is a 2013 LHP/1B with a 6-3 210 lb. frame from La Quinta, CA who attends Desert Chapel. Hernandez has a large frame with a solid strong build. He pitches from a H 3/4 arm slot and uses a shorter arm action in his delivery. Hernandez pitches across his body and lands with a shorter stride. The short stride causes him to pole vault over his front leg and fall off to the 3B side of the mound. With lower half adjustments to his delivery his velocity will increase. Hernandez gets sink on his change up and he also throws a 1/7 curve ball. Defensively, Hernandez showed nice hands at first base and moves well around the bag. At the plate, he uses a no load approach with developing bat speed. Very good student.

Donald Hernandez is a 2013 LHP/1B with a 6-3 185 lb. frame from LaQuinta, CA who attends Desert Chapel HS. Strong mature build. Cross body delivery, short stride, compact arm action, high 3/4's arm slot, hides ball well. Consistent upper 70's fastball, throws downhill with good fade and run when down. Primary fastball pitcher, hitter's don't see ball well, lots of swing/misses. Rare curveball, soft spin, some downer shape. Would benefit from a change up. Threw strikes and competed. Left handed hitter, no stride approach, aggressive hitter, has some strength, flashes ability to pull and lift the ball, makes consistent contact, played hard. Good student.
