Ventura’s death strikes raw feelings in MLB community
It seems far too soon, however the baseball community was once again impacted in a tragic way.
Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura was the victim of a fatal car accident in the Dominican Republic on Sunday, Jan. 22 at just 25 years of age. He joins the late Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez as the second pitcher under the age of 25 to pass away in the last four months. Fernandez was killed in a boating accident the morning of Sept. 25, 2016.
