The winner of this item will received a signed baseball from rookie Jose Fernandez of the Miami Marlins.

Ferdandez's rookie campaign quickly elevated him into the discussion as one of the game’s elite.  Through the end of May, a period covering his first 10 starts, he put up a respectable 3.78 ERA and struck out 23.4 percent of all hitters.  Since the beginning of June, he dominated, dipping to a 1.50 ERA while striking out 29.4 percent of hitters.  He delivered 16 quality starts in his last 18 turns, and only twice allowed more than two runs during that stretch.

His season ranks among the most impressive showings for a rookie pitcher or one in his age 20 season, making this autographed ball a unique possession that could be worth a lot over the course of Ferdandez's career!
