LAKELAND, Fla. — When Michael Fulmer was directed to a back field at Tiger Town after his bullpen session on Tuesday morning, he assumed he was heading there for fielding practice.
“I didn’t know this was going to be cardio,” he said afterwards.
It was both, as the Tigers’ right-hander was pushed physically on the first day of training for pitchers and catchers. Fulmer fielded bunt after bunt as the team tried to ease him into spring training.
