Fernandez’s fielding independent pitching number was second in Major League Baseball this year — he didn’t need much help from the Marlins’ defense, but it was obvious that when he did need it, they didn’t help.Hitters had a .332 batting average on balls in play against Fernandez this year — that’s not all on the defense, but it reflects extremely poorly on the Marlins’ fielding which was middle-of-the-pack over the season.Fernandez’s ERA-FIP of 0.56 was the largest such disparity (in favor of the pitcher) in the Major Leagues this year.
