Rigoberto Hernandez is a switch-hitting, run-driving glue piece for Louisiana
In the 2026 season, Rigoberto Hernandez has been a steady offensive contributor for Louisiana, hitting .288 with 47 hits, 13 doubles, 3 home runs, 23 RBIs and a .844 OPS across 48 starts. He brings versatility and timely-contact value from the infield, with a switch-hit profile that makes him a lineup fit against varied pitching. The biggest differentiator is his knack for showing up in big moments — including a late go-ahead homer at Dallas Baptist — plus a mature, senior presence that looks built for pressure, not just box-score padding.
