Detroit Tigers prospect Chavez Fernander, armed with splitter, is developing new slider

LAKELAND, Fla. — Detroit Tigers right-hander Chavez Fernander isn't afraid when he's on the mound.

He showed this trait in Saturday's minor-league minicamp scrimmage at Joker Marchant Stadium. The right-handed pitcher, a 35th-round draft pick in 2018, entered for the sixth inning and was tasked with facing some of the Tigers' best prospects.
