David Odubel Herrera (born December 29, 1991) is a Venezuelan professional baseball center fielder for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB). After spending 2008–2014 in the Texas Rangers' farm system, the Phillies selected him in the Rule 5 draft, noting his potential to develop as a solid major league player, particularly in regard to his batting average; he won batting titles in both the Texas League and the Venezuelan Winter League in 2014.

Herrera grew up in Venezuela, and was known for being "strong and powerful when he was a kid." Consequently, his father gave him the nickname "El Torito" – Spanish for "the little bull".

Herrera was signed by the Texas Rangers as an international free agent in 2008 at age 16. He began his professional career in the Dominican Summer League, and slowly progressed through the farm system, albeit behind several other top prospects. Predominantly an infielder in the Rangers' system, he began playing sporadically in the outfield during the 2014 season, in which he split time between the Class A-Advanced Myrtle Beach Pelicans and the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders, winning the Texas League batting title. He also participated in the Venezuelan Winter League, where he earned recognition as the most valuable player (MVP) by posting a .372 batting average with six home runs and a .988 on-base plus slugging (OPS).
