Since head coach Erik Bakich left the University of Michigan last week to take the head coaching job at Clemson, Detroit Tigers’ pitching coach Chris Fetter has been a key point of discussion as Bakich’s potential replacement. However, after a long week for Tigers’ fans, Fetter has removed his name from consideration and informed manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Al Avila, that he will stay in Detroit.
The news was reported by Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic Detroit on Tuesday afternoon.
Fetter has already proven himself an excellent pitching coach at the major league level, after a successful tenure with the University of Michigan.
