The Cleveland Guardians have re-signed right-handed pitcher Carlos Hernandez to a minor league contract.
The Guardians were the third team that Hernandez joined last season, with the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies being the other two. Across the entire campaign, he tossed 43.2 innings for an ERA of 6.23 in major league ball and struck out 39 batters. In minor league ball, he pitched for the Columbus Clippers, throwing a 4.70 ERA across 7.2 innings en route to striking out nine batters.
Hernandez has the tools to be a successful and confident pitcher for a major league side. He’s shown a strong tendency to strike out batters and place pitches in various nooks and cranny’s of the strike zone.
He also has speed with a four-seam velocity of 97.7 mph, keeping those at the plate on their toes.
