LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2018 PG Top Prospect Games at Maryland
Javon Hernandez is a 2019 SS/OF, 2B with a 5-9 145 lb. frame from Danbury, CT who attends Danbury. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a young, projectable build with room to fill throughout moving forward. Primary shortstop, does a nice job of working behind the ball and playing through it with active footwork, fields out front and shows range going up the middle, clean funnel and can drop slot at release when needed with accuracy. Short and quick steps to the ball in the outfielder, can get additional lower half incorporated into release, shorter arm action with an over-the-top release. Righthanded hitter, begins with a slightly open stance and a high hand set and back elbow in the box; upper body dominant swing with limited shift through lower half. Full swing path through the ball and keeps hands inside throughout, employs a contact oriented approach and projects with additional physical strength. Shows a handle for the barrel with linear plane, comfort working the opposite field but creates line drive contact to all fields. Very good student.
