The Marlins Death Fog has come for Julian Fernández. Yesterday, the home run sculpture-less Miami Marlins claimed Fernández in the Rule 5 draft ending his tenure with the San Francisco Giants. Across all levels of play, his final line with the Giants:
0 IP, 0 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
Fernández, who the Giants received in last year’s Rule 5 draft, never got a chance to pitch for the Giants as he was diagnosed with a UCL tear in Spring Training and underwent Tommy John. Even fans that aren’t invested in prospects had likely heard Fernández’s name because of one simple thing: Dude throws hard.
