The overturned boat was discovered in the early hours of Sunday morning on a jetty near one of the Port of Miami's major shipping lanes. The 32-foot boat Fernández was on had a "severe impact" with the jetty, according to the Associated Press.
Fernández was a first-round draft selection for the Marlins in 2011. Born in Cuba, the young pitcher finally came to the United States after three unsuccessful attempts to defect.
He made his Major League Baseball debut in 2013, going on to play in that year's MLB All-Star Game. After the season, he won the NL Rookie of the Year Award and placed third in Cy Young Award balloting.
The death is all the more tragic coming five days after Fernández announced to the world that he was going to be a father in a heartfelt Instagram post.
