Fernandez made 28 starts before the Marlins ended his season with a predetermined innings cap. He had a 2.16 ERA and led the NL by allowing just 5.8 hits per nine innings. In his 172 2/3 innings, he allowed just 111 hits, 10 homers and 58 walks while striking out 187.
Because the Marlins were being careful with their young righthander—Fernandez turned 21 on July 31—he wasn’t able to complete any of his games. But in 15 of those 28 starts, he allowed fewer than two earned runs.
Fernandez also was the Sporting News 2013 NL Rookie of the Year .
