One of the youngest players in the 2019-20 international signing class, Herrera couldn’t sign until he turned 16 on Aug. 17, 2019, a month and change after the signing period opened. He got just $10,000 to join the Milwaukee organization. Because of the pandemic, he wasn’t able to make his professional debut until 2021, when he threw 35 uneven innings in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League. He made it up to full-season ball in 2022, again with inconsistent results, but he made a nice step forward with a return to the Carolina League in 2023. After four relief outings with the Carolina Mudcats this season, he got bumped up to High-A Wisconsin and was pitching well there when he was sent to the Rockies as part of the Nick Mears trade, then continued to throw well in the Northwest League following the deal.
Pitching at age 20 for most of the 2024 season, Herrera has the makings of a solid three-pitch mix coming from a 6-foot-3 frame. The right-hander’s fastball sits in the 92-94 mph range, and he backs it up with an above-average slider with good dropping action, and he can backfoot lefties with it. He also has a below-average changeup.
Herrera has missed a lot more bats in 2024 than he has previously, thanks largely to that breaking ball, and he continues to do a good job of getting ground-ball outs and throwing a good amount of strikes. If the changeup comes, he could have the chance to start, with the fastball-slider combination likely ticking up if he ends up in a bullpen.
