Never underestimate the value of a great defensive catcher.

Tbh Hernandez was pretty average defensively. Our catchers this year are just that bad it makes him look like a gold glover

He was a leader on and off the field and was great with the pitching staff. This team misses him.

Yeah him and Milazo were very much so underrated. In my opinion, framing skills are more important than pop times and arm strength.

It would help this struggling pitching staff immensely to have someone who could frame pitches better.

Arambide makes him look like Pudge

That could hit bombs also.

He was, and it can't be coached. Jay said it best.

So proud. The heartbeat of our team. No one more deserving of being a professional Baseball player than Luis Hernandez. Congratulations Papi!

May not have had the power of Arrambide or Serna, but clutch hitter.

Luis was a good SEC catcher defensively. I don’t think he had the arm strength of Arrambide or Serna, but he was good at blocking, receiving, and framing pitches.
