Week 2 Little Hero of the Week

SP Jose Fernandez MIA Why He's Here: 1-0, 0.00, 1 GS, 6 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 SO The Scoop: If it wasn't for Dylan Bundy, Fernandez would probably be the talk of the South Atlantic League. The Marlins' 2011 first-rounder (14th overall) offers his own combination of a power arm and command. He's overmatched SAL hitters in his first four starts, allowing just nine hits, striking out 33 and walking eight in 23 innings. He's whiffed at least seven in each start. Fernandez leads league starters in opponent average (.120) and ranks second in strikeouts. On Tuesday, Fernandez and two relievers combined to no-hit Hickory, with walks in the third and fifth innings being the only baserunners he allowed.
