Hernández’s return last summer after a year in Korea didn’t result in any fanfare, but he’s currently sporting a little more velocity than ever before — he averaged 92.6 mph with his fastball and 92.9 mph with his sinker today — and he’s always had quality secondary stuff. He’s probably not going to break camp as the Braves’ fifth starter, since he’s on a minor league deal and the team has several out-of-options arms in the mix — but he might eventually prove useful to the Braves if the velocity sticks around.

Hernández represents an interesting low-risk gamble for Atlanta heading into next season. The 30-year-old righty, who holds a pedestrian 5.10 ERA across 303 1/3 innings over 99 appearances (49 starts) in the majors since 2018, finished last season in Toronto’s system after two seasons pitching overseas for the LG Twins in Korea.

Hernández is back stateside after spending the majority of the last two seasons overseas pitching for the LG Twins of the Korea Baseball Organization. The 30-year-old righty holds a serviceable 5.10 ERA across 303 1/3 innings (99 appearances, 49 starts) in the majors dating back to 2018. He’ll function as emergency pitching depth for Toronto at Triple-A Buffalo.
