Carson Fulmer has played in five organizations since the start of 2020 season, cycling through the waiver wire as he tried to prove himself with new teams.
Teams see Fulmer’s potential. There are reasons why he was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft, but he’s had a lot of inconsistency throughout his big-league career.
There is, however, something that feels different since he joined the Reds midway through spring training. It helps that he feels comfortable with pitching coach Derek Johnson, the coach who recruited him to Vanderbilt, but he’s at a more mature place in his own career.
