WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
| Herrand has very good stuff but is still very raw and erratic. His fastball can be anywhere from the upper 80s to 96-97 and he has a good curve, but he can be very wild. 2010 Struggled to throw strikes in his debut in the DSL, walking more than he fanned. 2011 Despite the struggles in 2010, the Pirates brought him to the GCL. Unfortunately, he was injured and unable to debut until late July. Once he could pitch he continued struggling with his control. Herrand has a significant ceiling if he can develop better command of his pitches. The Pirates will probably push him in order to challenge him, but they may not be inclined to move him up to State College yet. |
