Life & Career

Jose Fernandez was a Cuban defect and a first round MLB draft pick in 2011 for the Marlins.

Jose had attempted to defect from Cuba three times before successfully doing so. On his successful attempt, his mother fell overboard when their boat hit rough waters. He then jumped overboard and saved her life.

He made his debut in 2013 with the Marlins. Fernandez was named to the 2013 MLB All-Star Game and won the National League Rookie of the Year Award.

He became the first pitcher in the modern era to win his first 17 career home decisions, and to go 24-1 in his first 25 home decisions.

Jose Fernandez was one of the top pitchers in the MLB at the time. Our thoughts go out to his family, the Marlins organization, and the families of the two other victims during this tragic time.

I love sports, current events, and anything outdoors. My days are filled with writing, hanging out with my daughter, and working on airplanes. I also enjoy eating. A lot.
