Nick Cody Hernandez (born December 30, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres.

Career

Hernandez is from Missouri City, Texas. He graduated from Dulles High School in Sugar Land, Texas. Hernandez played college baseball for Alvin Community College for two seasons, and transferred to the University of Houston for the 2016 season, where he was the closer for the Houston Cougars.[1]

Houston Astros

The Houston Astros selected Hernandez in the eighth round of the 2016 MLB draft. By 2022, he reached Triple-A with the Astros, pitching for the Sugar Land Space Cowboys.[1][2] He became a free agent after the 2022 season.

San Diego Padres

On February 3, 2023, Hernandez signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres.[3] He began the 2023 season in Triple-A with the El Paso Chihuahuas.

On September 11, 2023, Hernandez was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[4] He made his MLB debut the following day.[5] In two appearances for San Diego, he allowed four runs on three hits with five strikeouts in three innings of work. Following the season on November 6, Hernandez was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A El Paso Chihuahuas; he elected free agency the same day.[6]
