In 1990, Fernandez won the Dick Howser Trophy for National College Baseball player of the year while pitching at Miami-Dade Community College (MDCC). He previously played at the University of Miami before transferring to MDCC to be eligible to enter the Baseball Major League Draft.
In Little League Baseball, Alex played for the Hialeah Athletic Association (HAA) where he fine-tuned his pitching skills. Alex's father was his team's coach.
Going on a different path, Alex is doing radio and becoming active in politics in his hometown of Miami Beach, where he campaigned and helped elect its mayor. He is now the pitching coach at Archbishop McCarthy High School in Cooper City, Florida.
