The Detroit Tigers had the worst starting rotation in baseball last season with a combined 6.37 ERA.
Chris Fetter is tasked with cleaning up the mess.
The former Michigan baseball pitching coach was hired Friday by manager AJ Hinch to join him as the Tigers' pitching coach. Together, they will work to see the rebuild through and focus on the building stage. The goal is to help the franchise return to postseason and World Series contention.
"We're very excited to make one of the more important hires, outside of the manager's job, to lead our young pitching into the future," Tigers general manager Al Avila said Friday.
