Dilson Jose Herrera (born March 3, 1994) is a Colombian professional baseball second baseman for the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball (MLB). He stands 5'10 inches tall and weighs 205 lbs. He previously played for the New York Mets.
Herrera signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates as an international free agent in 2010. He received a $220,000 signing bonus. He then spent the next three years in the Pirates' farm system, advancing as far as the A-class West Virginia Power. Herrera, along with Gregory Polanco, represented the Pirates at the 2013 All-Star Futures Game.
On August 27, 2013, the Pirates traded Herrera and a player to be named later, Vic Black, to the New York Mets to acquire Marlon Byrd and John Buck. His first season in the Mets organization has been a success as he was promoted to Double A during the season.
On August 28, after an injury to All-Star second baseman Daniel Murphy, Herrera was called up to the majors. He became the first Met player ever to start the season in single-A and get to the majors by the end of the season. Two days later, he collected his first major league hit off of the Phillies' Jerome Williams. He received his first RBI in the following game against Justin De Fratus.
On September 1, Herrera hit his first Major League home run, off of Miami Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez. Herrera finished the season with appearing in 18 games with a batting average of .220 in 59 at-bats in 66 plate appearances while compiling 13 hits, 11 RBIs, 3 home runs, 7 walks, 6 runs scored and striking out 17 times.
