Fernandez and the two men were in the pitcher's boat, a 32-foot SeaVee, when it struck a jetty off Miami Beach.
According to the report, the affidavit also states that the boat was going at a high rate of speed and that the driver of the vessel was driving with "recklessness" that was "exacerbated by the consumption of alcohol."
Toxicology reports have been completed but not released by investigators.
