07/25/2009 - Team One North 2009 - PVP Alex is a young RHP with a tall, lanky and athletic looking body that shows projection as he continues to physically mature and fill out. Delivery shows sound mechanics with on time separation and in line direction with glove side lead working to target. Arm strength is slightly above average and he will benefit by getting on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength, raising velocities. Fastball shows a range of 79-84 mph with run. He attacks the zone with his fastball working both sides of the plate. Breaking ball is solid average displaying an 11/5 shape with sweeping action. He needs to work on command of breaking ball to keep hitters off balance. Holding runners is a plus as he shows a quality pickoff move. He did not give up any runs and only 1 hit in 2 innings of work. With 2 years to further develop, Hermeling has potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate as he continues to improve.
