Career

Prior to his coaching career, he played in the New York Yankees minor league system from 1979 to 1983. He also played part of the 1983 season in the Chicago White Sox system. A broken arm that year ended his playing career.

Hernandez has served as pitching coach for the California Angels (1993–96), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2004–05), and Detroit Tigers (2006–08). In 2009, he served as the bullpen coach for the Cleveland Indians, but was fired along with Manager Eric Wedge and the rest of the staff at the season's end. After the 2010 season, the University of South Florida hired Hernandez as their pitching coach.[1]

Hernandez was then pitching coach for the GCL Phillies and then the Miami Marlins. In November 2015 he was hired as Minor League pitching coordinator for the Atlanta Braves.[2] On October 11, 2016, Hernandez was named the pitching coach for the Atlanta Braves.[3] On October 15, 2018, Hernandez was dismissed from his duties as the pitching coach for the Braves.[4]

On December 9, 2018, the New York Mets hired Hernandez as their bullpen coach.[5] His time in New York was short-lived, however; on June 20, 2019, he, along with pitching coach Dave Eiland, were fired as part of a staff shakeup.[6]

gollark: And the system image is read-only and monolithic. So stupid.
gollark: Plus each device needs its own special weird custom build, and you need something like 40GB of files and an insane build process to make system images.
gollark: Well, I sort of can, using some iptables hackery, but that seems fragile and prone to breaking.
