Career

Hernández was signed by the Philadelphia Phillies as a free agent in 1998 and was added to the Phillies 40-man roster prior to the 2005 season. At the time he owned the best slider in the organization, according to Baseball America.

From 2000 through 2006, Hernández posted a 34–36 record with a 3.45 ERA and 17 saves in 204 games at five different levels. In 2000, he was selected to the Gulf Coast League All-Star team. He then started 2007 with the Triple-A Ottawa Lynx, where he went 1-0 with a 1.74 and six saves before joining the Phillies in May as a replacement for injured Tom Gordon.

In between, Hernández has pitched for several teams of the Mexican League as well as for the Águilas del Zulia, Leones del Caracas and Navegantes del Magallanes clubs of the Venezuelan Winter League.

He was selected to the roster for the Venezuela national baseball team at the 2015 WBSC Premier12.[2]

gollark: You would have to detect and correct for it.
gollark: Weird turbulence stuff could happen though?
gollark: I figure that with good acceleration/rotation data, knowledge of initial velocity and stuff (GPS should work when it's out of the atmosphere, right?), and rough knowledge of what the trajectory is you could get it to somewhat work.
gollark: It's possible that people just didn't want space killsats for some reason? I can't see why, but maybe.
