Prep roundup: Corona High's Seth Hernandez strikes out seven in season debut
There were more than two dozen professional scouts who showed up to watch a Panthers team with potentially three first-round draft picks for this summer. Certainly the player that had radar guns pointed at him for every pitch was Seth Hernandez, who struck out seven in three innings during a 2-0 victory over Los Osos. His fastball was at 97 mph or 98 mph depending on the device.
The expectations are so high for defending Southern Section Division 1 champion Corona that scoring a mere two runs might be considered a disappointment. Give credit to Los Osos junior pitcher Gavin Loeb-Keene, who struck out four and walked none over five innings.
Joshua Sur had an RBI single for Corona and finished with two hits. Hernandez gave up two lightly hit singles in the first inning, then became dominant by using a slider and curveball. He started to smile, which is the best indication of a player having fun while so many people are focused on his talented arm.
Vista Murrieta 9, Banning 3: The Broncos (3-0) received three hits from Gavin Kramer.
Royal 9, Canyon 0: Dean Barkman struck out 10 over five innings and gave up one hit.
San Fernando 5, Burroughs 4: The Tigers won in the eighth inning. Mario Miranda and Alex Torres each had two hits.
Arcadia 8, Bishop Amat 4: Home runs from Avery Truesdale and Tyler Brereton powered the Apaches to victory.
Edison 7, St. Mary's 0: Hayden Cato had a two-run single and Grady Fischer contributed a two-run double for Edison.
Village Christian 9, Glendale 0: Nick Garcia struck out nine in four innings and also had three hits for Village Christian. Joseph Tapia had two hits for Glendale.
Granada Hills 9, Villa Park 6: Lainey Brown had three hits, including a home run, and four RBIs, for Granada Hills.

Pirates sign 2025 first-round pick Seth Hernandez
The Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday signed 2025 first-round draft pick Seth Hernandez. Hernandez, a right-handed pitcher, was the sixth overall selection of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft. The 19-year-old was MLB Pipeline's No. 3-ranked prospect in this year's draft. Experts say the 6-foot-4, 190-pound hurler already has three elite pitches in his arsenal: a solid fastball, a changeup, and a tight curveball with spin. "We are very excited to get the chance to work with Seth," said Pirates general manager Ben Cherington after the draft. "His athleticism, velocity, ability to shape pitches and competitiveness are standout traits for a starting pitcher. He will be fun to watch develop." Coming into the draft, Baseball America rated Hernandez with the "Best Changeup" and the fourth-best "Fastball" among this year's high school draft class, per a media release from the Pirates. Hernandez struck out 105 batters while recording a 0.39 ERA in his 11 appearances (11 starts) this past season for Corona High School. He also hit .319 with seven home runs and a 1.019 OPS as a senior. Hernandez compiled an 18-1 record in his career at Corona High School while also being a two-time Los Angeles Times Player of the Year.
