Julian Fernandez He is a native of Boca Chica, Santo Domingo, he is 25 years old and has been in the Minor Leagues since 2013, first he signed with the Colorado Rockies, then with the Giants, Marlins and finally returned to the Rockies to make his debut with them in the best baseball in the world.
Everything indicates that according to his age he will be on the active roster for the rest of the season with the Colroado Rockies, if they were raised it is because he was doing things well in the Minor Leagues and they felt it was time to take that missile to the Show .
There are no more than 10 players in the Major Leagues who can reach 101 miles, more than Sixto Sanchez, Aroldis Chapman, Edwin Diaz, Alex Reyes, Michael Kopech, Jacob Degrom, Emmanuel Clase, among others.
Seeing Julian Fernandez doing this lets it be known that he has a whole future ahead of him as a reliever, if he manages to improve his breaking pitches he could become a key reliever for the Colorado Rockies, a team that has time to let its prospects develop to a certain level that in a while help them compete for the playoffs of the MLB.
Many Latino prospects have been called up to the big team in September, for the simple reason that the MLBexpanded the rosters to 29 active players by the end of the month, in order for teams to have more players in the dugout and to know how to rest the stars.
