Expected to be one of the main left-handed options out of the bullpen, Gorzelanny was a below replacement level player in 2015.
When the Detroit Tigers signed Tom Gorzelanny late in the 2015 offseason, they did not realize that they were getting two different pitchers. Unfortunately, neither of them were any good. Gorzelanny the former allowed a 6.38 ERA and .926 OPS in 24 innings from the start of the season to July 2. He was designated for assignment on July 3, and spent just over a month in Triple-A Toledo.
When Gorzelanny returned to Detroit, he featured a new, lower arm angle with hopes of adding deception to an arsenal that didn't fool anyone through the first three months of the season.
