Christian Hernandez 2023 Bowman Chrome #BDC-111 (2022) & #BCP-24 (2023) Cubs

Description: Christian Hernandez 2023 Bowman Chrome #BDC-111 (2022) & #BCP-24 (2023) Chicago Cubs Lot Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 55 | Arm: 60 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50 Some evaluators considered Hernandez the top prospect in the 2020 international crop, and he drew physical comparisons to Alex Rodriguez and Manny Machado. The Cubs signed him for $3 million out of the Dominican Republic in January 2021 and believe he has more upside than any international amateur they've signed in more than a decade. He made his U.S. debut last year, slashing .261/.320/.357 with a 30 percent strikeout rate in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League. With electric bat speed from the right side of the plate, Hernandez can smoke balls harder than perhaps any teenage infielder in the Minors. He did a better job of driving balls in the air in 2022 than he had in his introduction to pro ball, and he could hit 30 or more homers on an annual basis once he fills out his projectable 6-foot-2 frame and gets stronger at the plate. He needs to learn to let his power come naturally rather than pulling too many pitches and chasing too many out of the strike zone. If Hernandez can develop into a quality hitter, he'll be a five-tool shortstop. He possesses solid speed and plus arm strength, and he should retain enough quickness and range to remain at short. If he slows down more than expected as he matures physically, the worst-case scenario is that he'd wind up at third base or the outfield corners and he'll still profile well offensively at those spots.
