The midfielder and outside back played 29 games for the Chattanooga Red Wolves recording 1,648 minutes with 18 starts in addition to 36 tackles won with 72% accuracy, 18 clearances, and 22 interceptions.

"Pedro showed great growth and development in 2023 as a full back," shared head coach Scott Mackenzie of Hernandez's transition to the backline. "He is a great culture guy, a top leader and has the potential to be one of the best full backs in the league. I know after last season he is hungry and motivated to improve the results and chase much bigger fish. I love working with players who work, who are committed and who enjoy the process. Pedro is that type of player."

"I am beyond thrilled about returning to Chattanooga! I have such a deep appreciation for the community, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to play here," said Hernández. "Our incredibly loyal fans have welcomed me and played a huge role in allowing me to call Chattanooga a second home."
