꿀드랩이었던 2011년 14번픽에 지명된 우완투수로, 작년에 싱글에이 무대를 박살내고 BA에서 #5 로 랭크되었습니다. 

쿠바 난민으로 플로리다주 고교를 졸업하고 동네팀 마이애미에 지명되었죠 ㅎㅎ

6피트 2인치에 무려 240 파운드로 (다이어트한 류현진과 비슷한 체중?) 19살이라기엔 믿기지 않을만큼 완성된 빅리그 바디를 가지고 있습니다.

주무기는 불꽃 포심으로, 

90마일 중후반의 구속도 구속이지만, 오승환 타입의 공끝이 폭발적으로 뻗어가는 무브먼트에, 제구력까지 좋다고 합니다.

파이어볼러 답게 마운드 위에서 투쟁심도 대단하다고 하네요.

왠지 조쉬 베켓의 냄새가.... 

Scouting Report: Fernandez is a fearless competitor on the mound, which helps push his already plus arsenal to even greater heights. It all starts with Fernandez’s fastball, which can sit comfortably in the plus-plus velocity range with explosive life. It’s a punishing pitch, and the table-setter for a highly projectable secondary arsenal with multiple bat-missing offerings. His curveball is a hard breaker with serious depth, and it projects to play at the plus-plus level when it finds consistency. The slider is a nice complementary pitch to the curveball, as it offers a two-plane break with even more velocity, keeping hitters off-balance and unable to adjust to the plane. The changeup is behind the other offerings at present, but it has a chance to be another above-average offering with more refinement; it’s a feel pitch that improves with repetition, but he can already turn it over and achieve good action. The command component is there, as Fernandez can repeat his delivery and stay in a good pitching rhythm. The body is physically mature and very strong, but it could be considered high-maintenance going forward because of the thick lower half at such a young age.
