Biography
Hernandez was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 16th round, 483rd overall pick, of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft.
Hernandez made his debut against the Detroit Tigers on May 28, 2009. He went 5 2/3 innings. He gave up five hits, allowed four walks, and only one earned run while striking out three.
Hernandez throws a 93 mph fastball, a 78 mph slider, and an 84 mph changeup. He is known for his high strikeout rate, which improved at every level in the minors, from 9.54 K/9 in A to 12.46 K/9 in AAA.[1] He is a flyball pitcher - 45% of balls in play are flyballs, with only 38% of them staying on the ground.[2]
On December 6, 2010 he was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks (along with Kam Mickolio) for Mark Reynolds and a player to be named later or cash.
