"When you hear about tragedies of a young person that passes tragically in any profession, it's just a dose of reality that life is precious and there are guys in that room that knew him," Scioscia said. "Any time you lose somebody you know or a friend, it's obviously tough."
Along with Adenhart, Fernandez's death, which occurred during a boating accident, reminded Scioscia of when former Dodgers pitcher Tim Crews died in a boating accident in 1993.
"The thing that really rips my heart out is we talk about [Fernandez] as a baseball player, obviously he was a terrific baseball player, [but] the reality is their family lost a son, their family lost a grandson," Scioscia said.
