Teoscar Hernandez is an exciting player. At the age of 24, he has shown glimpses of being an above average player. His rise to the big leagues was not a quick one and wasn’t without struggles. Formally seen as just an athlete playing baseball, Hernandez clearly matured and improved throughout the minors.
After struggling in Double-A Corpus Christi in 2015, hitting .219/.275/.362 with 17 homers, Hernandez improved and rebounded in 2016. He hit .307/.377/.459 in AA and AAA. When the injury bug struck the Astros late in the season, Hernandez answered the call.
Hernandez was a part of another youth movement for the Astros in 2016.
