Scouting the 2025 Draft: Seth Hernandez

Seth Hernandez RHP, HS.  DOB:  6/28/2006.  6'4", 190 lbs.

Seth Hernandez is the top-rated pitcher in rankings for the 2025 draft for a reason.  He looks like he was built by an AI 3D printer who was instructed to design and build the perfect pitcher.   Wiry strong lower half which generates tremendous drive toward the plate.  Long, loose arms which get full extension and leverage in high-3/4 delivery.  Scouting report gives him a mid-high 90's FB.  Best secondary pitch is a changeup but he also has a solid slider and curveball for a 4-pitch mix.  Could be challenging to sign him away from Vanderbilt commitment especially now with expanded financial opportunities for college athletes.  The challenge, as for all pitching prospects, is staying away from injuries and why HS pitchers are considered the riskiest draft demographic.
