Herchenbach came away a winner on the mound from Sunday’s event. Currently ranked No. 21 in the state, Herchenbach boasts upside within his 6-foot-1, 170-pound frame, and with added strength should only help him on the mound. The right-hander worked his fastball up to 85 mph, sitting mostly 83-84 mph with a tall/fall operation and ¾ slot. He showed outstanding feel for his 71-75 mph slider, landing it for a strike 100% of the time according to TrackMan and playing with sharp 10/4 action. He also featured a heavy running changeup to fill out his arsenal, 77-80 mph.

Standing at 6-foot, 180 pounds, Herchenbach showed the ability to control his body well down the mound with a fluid tempo and slight drop/drive lower half. When moving downhill, Herchenbach tends to stride slightly across his body, creating a tough angle for would-be right-handed hitters, and yet he’s still able to clear his hips to the plate and create torque effectively. His fastball reached 84 mph and it played through the zone with arm-side action, averaging over 21 inches horizontal movement to the plate. Herchenbach also showed two quality change-of-pace offerings; an 11/5 curveball at66-69 mph, and a changeup that featured slight arm-side action, 73-75. Both offerings have the potential to develop into plus pitches with added arm speed and natural development in the coming years.

Positional Profile: RHP/2B
Body: 6-0, 140-pounds. High-waisted frame.

FB: T83.8, 82.1-83.7 mph. Jumps out of the hand with running action to his arm-side.  T2201, 2072 average rpm.
SL: 66.4-69.1 mph. Gradual 11/5 shape, feel for the zone. T1884, 1867 average rpm.
CH: 73.1-75.3 mph. Thrown with fastball intent, slight action to the arm-side.  T1351, 1235 average rpm.
