After prepping with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens in 1949–50, Herbert received his first MLB trial in August 1950.

In his major league debut, he started against the Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe Park.

He worked into the eighth inning, and was holding a 3–2 lead when he surrendered a two-run home run to Sam Chapman.

Herbert was tagged with the loss, although he registered an eight-inning complete game.

1950

He appeared in 407 Major League Baseball (MLB) games over 14 seasons (1950–1951; 1953–1955; 1958–1966) with the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Athletics, Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Phillies.

After his retirement, he would throw batting practice for the Tigers for over three decades.

1951

1956

1958

Finally, in 1958, at age 28, Herbert returned to the Major Leagues.

1961

He went 48–32 (.600) in 109 games (all but two as a starter) and 710 innings pitched.

1962

Herbert threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 ft tall and weighed 185 lb. His fastball was described as a "sinking fastball that major league franchises dream of" and was also known to be a powerful batter at the plate, hitting 7 home runs in his career.

In 407 career big-league games, Herbert had a win–loss record of 104–107 with 68 complete games, 13 shutouts and 15 saves.
