(Miami, FL) — The Major League Baseball community is mourning the loss of one of its promising young stars. Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez was killed last night in a boating accident. The 24-year-old Cuban native won the Rookie of the Year award in 2013 and was a two-time All-Star, including this season. Fernandez was scheduled to take the mound for the Marlins tomorrow, in what was likely going to be his final start of the season.
