Hermsen, 21, made 12 starts last season for the Snappers, going 4-6 with a 5.00 earned run average. He one-hit the Cedar Rapids Kernels in Cedar Rapids, taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning.
A sixth-round draft pick of the parent Minnesota Twins in 2006, Hermsen also made eight starts for Rookie-level Elizabethton last season.
