Fernandez went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's spring game against San Francisco.

Fernandez has been one of the hottest hitters on the Diamondbacks this spring. The shortstop is 7-for-25 with all seven hits going for extra bases, and 13 of his 18 balls in play this spring have left his bat at over 100 mph. There's been a lot of swing and miss as well, which is to be expected for a 22-year-old that has yet to compete above Double-A, but a good showing at Triple-A Reno could put him in line for a big-league debut in 2026.
