José Concepción Herrera Ontiveros [er-REH-rah] (born on April 8, 1942 in San Lorenzo, Anzoátegui State, Venezuela) is a former outfielder in Major League Baseball who played for the Houston Astros (1967-68) and Montreal Expos (1969-70). He batted and threw right-handed.
Herrera was signed by the Houston Colt .45s as an amateur free agent and made his debut with the team after it became the Astros. Regarded as an emotional leader in the dugout, Herrera was a classic backup outfielder and got every chance he had in the field and as a pinch hitter as well.
In a four-season career, Herrera posted a .264 batting average with two home runs, 20 RBI, 16 runs, 522 hits, and 10 doubles in 80 games played.
