The Pirates promoted Hernandez from Single-A Bradenton to High-A Greensboro on Sunday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Hernandez will make the leap to the South Atlantic League after posting a 0.96 ERA and 0.71 WHIP with 50 strikeouts over 28 innings in six starts with Bradenton to open the season. The 19-year-old will look to continue his blazing-hot start to the 2026 campaign while taking on some tougher competition moving forward.
Pirates' Seth Hernandez: Dominant start to pro career
Rotowire
Hernandez has a 1.29 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and 15:1 K:BB in seven innings through his first two starts for Single-A Bradenton.
He has a comical 56.0 K-BB% and shouldn't be at Single-A much longer. Hernandez looks the part of a future ace, he just needs to stay healthy on what could be a relatively quick path to the majors, relative to other prep pitchers. Already 19 and turning 20 in June, Hernandez is on track to reach High-A and Double-A before the end of his first pro season.
