Sunday morning we learned that in a sickening turn of events, Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez has been killed. One of the victims of a boat crash that ended the lives of three people, Fernandez was of the best pitchers in baseball, his name being mentioned in the same breath as the likes of superstars Clayton Kershaw, Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, and Justin Verlander.
Drafted by the Marlins at 14th overall in 2011, Fernandez raced trough the minors, posting a 1.75 ERA, 2.34 FIP, and a WHIP of only 1.00 over 11 starts in High-A in 2012. In 2013, the Marlins double-jumped him straight to the majors.
