DrB's 2026 Giants Top 50 Prospects: #3 Luis Hernandez


3.  Luis Hernandez SS.   DOB:  12/13/2008.  B-R, T-R.  5' 10", 172 lbs.  

Consensus top international prospect from the 2026 cycleMLB Pipeline rates his tools 60 across the board except possibly arm which is a 50.  Considered advanced for his age.  Projectable frame.  Trained at the Carlos Guillen Academy in Venezuela.  Played in the Venezuela Major League at age 15 and hit .346 in 104 AB's.  Projects to a 30/30 player who can stick at short but the bat could play at any position.  Giants reportedly considering bringing him to the states for his first pro experience.  If he and Josuar Gonzalez are both playing in Arizona this spring, I might need to find a way to get over there and see what the fuss is about for myself, depending on my situation.
