"Did you catch that?" Tulowitzki asked, confused. "Yes I did," Fernández confirmed with a nod and a grin at a 2013 game.
Fernández dazzled during his first game after surgery on a ligament in his right elbow. After just over a one-year recovery break from the field, Fernández returned with impressive pitching and even hit a home run.
In 2013, Fernández participated in his first legendary MLB All Star Game at just 20 years old, starting the first inning with a strikeout and impressive plays throughout the game.
In the fourth inning of a 2016 game, Fernández struck out Cody Asche of the Phillies with a 97-mph heater. Fernández's tenth strikeout of the game also marked the 500th strikeout of his career.
