Julián Antonio Fernández (born December 5, 1995) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He made his MLB debut in 2021 for the Colorado Rockies.

Career

Fernández signed with the Colorado Rockies in 2012 as an international free agent. He made his professional debut in 2013 with the Rookie-level DSL Rockies where he compiled a 1–1 record and 7.94 ERA in ten games. In 2014, he returned to the DSL, posting a 1–0 record and 5.60 ERA in 18 relief appearances, and in 2015, he split time between the DSL and the Rookie-level Grand Junction Rockies, pitching to a combined 3–2 record, 3.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 28 total games between the two clubs. He spent 2016 with the Class A Short Season Boise Hawks, going 1–2 with a 1.17 ERA in 21 appearances out of the bullpen. His 2017 season was spent with the Class A Asheville Tourists, posting a 1–2 record and 3.26 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 51 games.[1]

The San Francisco Giants selected Fernández from the Colorado Rockies organization with the second pick in the 2017 Rule 5 draft.[2] He underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the 2018 season.[3] On November 19, 2018, Fernández was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins.[4] Fernández spent the 2019 season on the 60–day injured list and did not appear in a game, as he suffered a set-back with more elbow issues during the year.[5][6] On October 19, 2019, Fernández was removed from the Marlins 40-man roster and returned to the Rockies organization.[7] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 since the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On September 1, 2021, the Rockies promoted Fernández to the major leagues.[8] He made his MLB debut on September 5, allowing 3 earned runs in 1.2 innings of work against the Atlanta Braves.[9] He was designated for assignment on June 11, 2022. On October 12, Fernández elected free agency.
