‘Big opportunity’: UH infielder Ryan Hernandez finding success playing in Round Rock

Before his junior season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, first baseman Ryan Hernandez gave Houston a small taste of his talent, leading the team in nearly all offensive categories, hitting .300 with five home runs and 14 RBI’s in 60 at-bats, but Hernandez is constantly striving to get better. Not even the COVID-19 pandemic is stopping him from improving his game.

The 6-foot-4-inch infielder was unsure of when he would play another baseball game, until his fellow UH teammate, Luke Almendarez, reached out and told him about an opportunity to play in Round Rock at Dell Diamond for the Hairy Men in the Texas Collegiate League this summer.
