Scouting Report, Jose Fernandez, RHP, Alonso (FL) HS (2011 Draft)
By The Baseball Beginnings Guy
April 29, 2011
My pal Adrian Burgos Jr.’s guy, Alex Pompez, would probably love Jose Fernandez. This is a big guy of Cuban descent who doesn’t do much more than flash a big arm on the bump and can light up a radar gun. When I saw Fernandez, he was 94, which in this draft puts him near the front of the line. He can probably be a 94-97 guy as a pro. If you can give this guy a hard slider, you can turn him into a closer, close your eyes tight, and hope he throws strikes.
