Due to his small stature, he is extremely quick and agile, also possessing good technique.

Former Mexico national team coach Gonzalo Moreno Mendoza described Hernández as having "a knack for the goal. Sometimes it seems like every rebound or every deflection goes into his path. Another thing is he doesn't dwell on a missed opportunity. He always looks forward to the next one. He has good ability in the air. He has good pace, and he makes those diagonal runs starting from the first defender in behind the second one. He also has the willingness to work defensively."
