Abraham Toro-Hernandez has tantalized onlookers at times with impressive hot streaks, showcasing his hard contact ability and advanced approach, but the young third baseman has struggled to sustain high level performance thus far in his pro career. Originally from Quebec, Toro-Hernandez was drafted out of Seminole State Junior College in the 5th round of the 2016 draft, where he had played catcher and third base. The Astros drafted him for his bat and scrapped his catching fairly early on, and he has developed nicely on the defensive side at third base since moving there full time.

Scouts have had positive things to say about Toro-Hernandez, praising his athleticism, bat speed and approach.
