Carlos Hernández has thrown 4,240 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2020 and 2024, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season, The World Baseball Classic and Spring Training. In 2024, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (98mph) and Curve (84mph), also mixing in a Slider (89mph) and Sinker (98mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (90mph).


In 2024, compared to other RHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, results in somewhat more groundballs compared to other pitchers' fourseamers and has slight armside run. Their curve (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' curves, has primarily 12-6 movement and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' curves. Their slider (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 10 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sliders, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sliders, has primarily 12-6 movement and has some two-plane movement. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 5 of them in 2024) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is thrown at a speed that's borderline unfair, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers and has slight armside run. Their splitter (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2024) is thrown extremely hard, is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' splitters, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters, has slight cut action and has some natural sink to it.
