Scout’s note
Hernandez, a 2016 eighth-round pick out of Missouri City, TX, has 41 strikeouts in 37.0 innings for the Las Vegas Aviators this year; he debuted in the majors on 2023-09-12. An Index name: one of the game's biggest seasons, watched nightly. No call, because the engine found nothing mispriced to call.
Current signals
The read: Hernandez is in the Index ungraded, on purpose: our pitching signals are stability-tested but not outcome-validated, so no big-league arm gets a board flag or a call — not even one of the best seasons in the sport. The page is here because the player matters; the grade waits for the science.
