Born: October 30, 1982 at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Anderson Hernandez was the most popular Ultimate Mets Database daily lookup on August 6, 2009, August 17, 2012, August 18, 2018, June 15, 2023, and September 15, 2023.

First Mets game: September 18, 2005
Last Mets game: October 4, 2009

Share your memories of Anderson Hernandez HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY: Gary from Chesapeake October 13, 2005 Hernandez was an exciting, if streaky, player at Norfolk in 2005. It looked like he would represent the Mets future at 2nd Base, complementing a young infield of Wright, Reyes, and Jacobs. However, he didn't hit in the big leagues in 2005. Good luck at winter ball, Anderson! Gregory Gewirtz March 29, 2006 Many Mets fans wanted Hernandez called up by mid-season to replace Kaz Matsui, Miguel Cairo, and Marlon Anderson at second base. The Mets were not planning to call him up in September, except that they faced one too many middle infield injuries. dankind80 April 3, 2006 All glove, no stick. Not a problem today, though. Exhibited range and aim that his second bagger predecessors were so glaringly lacking. Don't ever bunt 0-2 again, though. Never. Bonbolito June 9, 2006 Saw him at the open workout this year. At BP, others like Wright and Delgado are slamming the ball. Hernandez comes up, I think to myself: "OK- let's see what you can do" and he can't get one out of the infield. They do throw so you CAN hit it in BP right? Yikes, what a sinking feeling I got. If he comes back he's going to have to do better at the plate than what I saw him do. Mr. Sparkle August 24, 2006 Another AAAA player, like Danny Garcia. One good year in the minors and everyone thought he would be the next Wally Backman. He didn't hit much in the minors for the Tigers and just because he did in Norfolk didn't convince me he could do it in the majors. In limited exposure he hasn't hit a lick. Even Jeff Duncan had a hot couple of weeks. I don't see this guy ever filling a significant role for the Mets. Jared K September 8, 2006 The jury is still out on this kid. He's a vacuum cleaner at second! Plays wonderful defense! But from what we've seen of him at the plate in the bigs, he couldn't get good wood on a beachball. I'm hoping he comes around though. He and Reyes are good friends off the field and they'd make a great doubleplay combo for years to come. Jamey Bumbalo September 16, 2006 A previous post says the jury is still out on Hernandez. Well, if I were on the jury, I'd vote to forget about him. He obviously can't hit major league pitching; I don't know if he could even hit slow- pitch softball. Last year he was 1 for 18 (.056) and as of Sept. 16 he's batting .113, giving him a career batting average of .098. After 71 career at-bats (which is what Hernandez has), has any Met--or any non-pitcher major leaguer--ever hit worse? agee_of_aquarius January 26, 2009 Is on pace to break Pete Rose's hit record in September of 2351. Ken January 10, 2010 Do you know how sad it is that Anderson ended up being one of the few bright spots of 2009 after we reacquired him? Oh well. He finally appeared to learn how to hit a little (2 whole home runs...WOW) and should be a fine utility infielder backup with Cora in 2010. Hopefully we won't see him too much because we get 154 games from Reyes but the Mets could do a whole lot worse than this steady glove man as a backup. Takechan January 24, 2014 The Japanese pro-team Chunichi Dragons signed Anderson Hernandez for 2014 season. He will wear uniform number "00". Alex May 22, 2023 I don't remember Anderson Hernandez being touted as a phenom like Alex Escobar or Lastings Milledge, however I do remember him being considered a well-regarded prospect whose lack of performance with the Mets was a letdown. Perhaps it's the Mets own fault that he never developed with them—they gave up on him at age 24 after giving him only a handful of cups of coffee in the majors. Until not too long ago I believed he was brought up through the team's minor league system, however he had been traded from the Tigers for catcher Vance Wilson in 2005. And when they parted ways with him, all the received in return was the dud reliever Luis Ayala of the Nationals. And, fun fact, the Mets actually traded for him AGAIN, surrendering speedy infield prospect Greg Veloz in 2009, though Hernandez never suited up for New York after that deal. Incredibly, though he last played in the majors in 2010, he was still playing as of 2019-20 in winter ball. At all levels, he managed 2,458 hits and 1,220 runs scored in his career. Alex May 23, 2023 I would like to correct my last post, he actually DID play for the Mets in 2009 after being traded from the Nationals. I actually recall them getting him back, now that I think about it, remembering thinking that they were giving him another try, again. Silly me.
