Fulmer, 32, is a former first-round draft pick who burst on the scene in 2016 with the Detroit Tigers, winning the American League rookie of the year award. He was an All-Star the following season. The Tigers turned him into a closer in 2021, and he saved 14 games. From 2021-2023, he appeared in at least 50 games, but missed all of 2024 after undergoing UCL revision surgery.
Last year, the right-handed reliever was in AAA with the Royals, where he posted a 4.87 ERA in 57 and a third innings pitched. These are not numbers that most fans would get excited about. However, Nogosek has untapped potential. He has a fastball that is about league average velocity, and his primary offspeed offering is a sweeper with almost 20 inches of horizontal break.
