All-Decade team: Starting Pitcher Jose Fernandez

While the Marlins have had plenty of productive starting pitchers over the last 10 years, the pitcher of the decade has to be Jose Fernandez. Over parts of four seasons, Fernandez electrified the crowd and puts fans in the seats, perhaps more so than any Marlin since Dontrelle Willis. Prior to his tragic passing, Fernandez registered a 38-17 record with a 2.58 ERA, 1.054 WHIP and 589 strikeouts. He tallied a 12.8 WAR as a Marlin.

HIs breakout campaign in 2013 saw him go 12-6 and post a 2.19 ERA and 0.976 WHIP over 172.2 innings pitched. He earned his first of two All-Star births (2013, 2016) and won the 2013 NL Rookie of the Year. He set a single-season franchise mark with 253 strikeouts in 2016. His energy and passion for the game were infectious.
