Man behind the glasses: How Carson Fulmer will force White Sox hand

Superman has his cape. Thor has his hammer. Iron Man has his suit.

Carson Fulmer? He has his glasses.

When the White Sox first-round pick from 2015 puts on his glasses before he dashes out to the mound, he transforms from a quiet kid from Lakeland, Fla. to a fiery competitor with a live fastball and an ace mentality.

Fulmer donned the glasses after a stretch band slipped off his foot while stretching before a game his freshman year and hit him in the eye. It didn’t cause any permanent damage to his eye but he keeps them on to protect himself during a game.
