Week 7 Little Hero of the Week

JOSE FERNANDEZ, RHP MARLINS Team: low Class A Greensboro (South Atlantic) Age: 19 Why He's Here: 2-0, 0.00, 2 GS, 12 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 20 Ks. The Scoop: It may not be Dylan Bundy's 0.00 ERA in the Sally League, but take that away and Jose Fernandez has been as good as a young pitcher can be expected to be in his first full pro season. The righthander improved to 5-0, 1.67 with a 12 strikeout, one-walk outing at Delmarva. Interestingly, it would have been a matchup against Bundy if not for Bundy's recent promotion to high Class A Frederick. Fernandez's latest gem came after his previous start was washed away by a rain delay—he had struck out three batters in the first. Thanks to Fernandez's 93-96 mph fastball and a nasty curveball, righthanders don't get much of a chance to do damage against him. He has allowed one extra-base hit all year to a righthander, a double by Cutter Dysktra.
