Livan Hernandez  
Starting Pitcher | Cincinnati Reds

Pitching
The bottom also falls out of his very good changeup. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Hernandez can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. Hernandez is a flyball pitcher susceptible to the home run. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Hernandez is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hernandez has some pop in his swing.
