The Kansas City Royals signed Herrera as an international free agent in December 2006. From 2007 through 2013, he played for various teams in the Royals’ farm system. Through 2010, he was in Class A or below; he then reached both Double-A and Triple-A in 2011. Along with Wil Myers, Herrera represented the Royals at the 2011 All-Star Futures Game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In 2014, Herrera became the go-to seventh inning option for manager Ned Yost. Along with set-up man Wade Davis and closer Greg Holland, Herrera was part of one of the most prolific late inning trios in all of baseball. His ERA was 1.41, the best mark of his career, and he did not allow a home run during the entire regular season. He had his first professional at-bat in Game 3 of the World Series in San Francisco, when he struck out. He ended his first postseason with an aggregate 1.80 ERA, striking out 16 in 15 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

During a game against the Oakland Athletics on April 19, 2015, Herrera was ejected for throwing a pitch behind Brett Lawrie. One game prior to this incident, his teammate Yordano Ventura was also ejected for hitting Lawrie. On April 22, 2015, Herrera was suspended for five games. Herrera appealed the suspension. On April 25, 2015, Herrera was suspended an additional two games for his role in a brawl against the Chicago White Sox. His four-seam fastball had the third-highest average speed of any MLB pitcher’s pitches in 2015, at 98.4 mph. Herrera, with the absence of Greg Holland in the 2015 postseason, became the eighth inning set-up man for the Royals. At the conclusion of the postseason, Herrera notched a 0.66 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 13 \u20443 innings pitched with three holds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Having spent the vast majority of his career as a seventh inning and eighth inning reliever, Herrera took over the role of the Kansas City Royals’ closer following a sidelining injury to Wade Davis in 2016. Herrera collected 12 saves in 15 opportunities as closer. He ended his season with a 2.75 ERA, striking out 86 in 72 innings pitched surrendering a career low 12 walks in a season. Herrera was named to the 2016 MLB All-Star Game, his second consecutive trip to the Midsummer Classic. In 72 games, he had an ERA of 2.75 with 12 saves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
