Major League Baseball lost one if its brightest young stars last year in Jose Fernandez.
Fernandez, as well as two others, lost their lives in a boating accident off Miami Beach on Sep. 25. The former Miami Marlins pitcher was on a fast-track to superstardom, and his passing deeply saddened the sports world.
This season, Marlins players will honor their fallen teammate by wearing a No. 16 patch on their jerseys.

A touching tribute to a great person and player who was taken too soon.
