Opening Day age: 25 | Bats: right | Throws: right | Listed at 6-0, 214 lbs.
Drafted by Marlins from the Houston Astros in the 2017 rule 5 draft (December 14, 2017).
The Marlins rotation this season is a solid mix of young guys and younger guys. Elieser Hernández falls into the first category. The Venezuelan 25-year-old is expected to step up into a leader type role. He won’t be the only one, but he is the one in the middle of the rotation. His numbers have never jumped off the page.
