Scouting report
Skilled and versatile, Hernandez is a likely big league role player whose abilities can impact a game in many situations. He's tough to strike out and has reached base at a career .390 clip because he walks a lot and has an effective slash-and-dash offensive approach. He's also an acrobatic multi-positional infielder. He will give a big league team a good at-bat off the bench and an upgrade on the bases, and he can competently spell or sub for any of your heavy-hitting, shift-enabled infielders later in games. Hernandez has the fourth-lowest swinging strike rate in the minor leagues since 2019. I considered putting him in the 40+ tier because of this, but his bat speed and quality of contact are so clearly below average that I think it's unlikely he turns into more than a 1 WAR sort of role-player. He has that gritty, "winning player" vibe.
