Hernandez strengthened his arm by lifting weights and incorporating stretching exercises to prepare to pitch five to seven innings per outing. He also worked on his pitch location and command during throwing sessions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The work paid off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcathletics.com\/sports\/bsb\/2022-23\/bios\/hernandez_herrick_m3yl?view=profile\">Hernandez<\/a> <\/span>leads the team with a 7-3 record and 76 strikeouts in 12 starts. He lowered his ERA by more than half from last year to 2.86.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe has a really good arm and professional potential,\u201d said Sharks Pitching Coach Bryan Morgado. \u201cHe\u2019s definitely worked at trying to master his craft every single day and that\u2019s why he\u2019s getting some really good results this year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 19-year-old started playing baseball with his dad when he was three years old in the backyard of his home in Hialeah. He shagged fly balls, played catch and took batting practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hernandez was a four-year letterman at Hialeah Senior High School, hitting .352 with 13 RBI as a senior in 2021. His potential earned him a scholarship to Barry University. Hernandez, who was an outfielder in the preseason, switched to the bullpen by mid-fall but never played in a game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the spring of 2022, he transferred to MDC as a reliever. His best pitches are his curveball, slider and fastball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat makes me different from any other pitcher is [that] I am very disciplined and consistent,\u201d Hernandez said. \u201cWhat\u2019s on my mind when I\u2019m on the baseball field is making sure [that] I\u2019m attacking the hitters and trying my best to not fall behind the count.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That mentality has Hernandez leading the Sharks to a 24-11-1 record including three games where he has pitched in at least seven innings. In each of those starts, he only gave up one run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHe\u2019s [a] special guy. He works hard, he\u2019s always laughing, he has a great personality,\u201d said reliever Carlos Nolasco. \u201cHe\u2019s tough, everything he throws is electric.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sharks\u2019 next game is at the Kendall Campus\u2019 baseball field, 11011 S.W. 104th St, on April 7 versus Florida Southwestern State College at 3 p.m.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><i>Click<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.us19.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=4fc6146412415baee32007fd7&amp;id=b5cd3712dc\"><i><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> here<\/span><\/i><\/a><i> to subscribe to our bi-weekly newsletter, The Hammerhead.
