An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (43.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.51 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hernández.

Judged on this season alone, Hernández graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 85 of the 85 full-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 3.511 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 12). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 57th of 85 of the 85 full-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 28 Hernández is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Hernández missed 4 games through injury (thigh, muscle, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 28.1, Hernández carries the 57th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 85. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.51 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
