Junior Fernandez, RHP — It seems like so long now that we’ve been waiting for Junior Fernandez to break out, yet he is somehow still only 22 years old. Back in 2015 when Fernandez first put his name on the radar with a rookie-ball show of dominance, he was an eighteen year old wunderkind, blessed with unbelievable natural arm speed and basically nothing else. Toward the end of that season he was bumped up to Palm Beach, his very first full-season stop, and made a couple late appearances heading into the playoffs. He was fine, limiting damage as he has at basically every stop (Fernandez is incredibly difficult to homer against), but the strikeouts more or less disappeared.
