Arlington, Texas – Watching big, burly and bearded Lance Lynn throw mid-90s fastball by Tigers hitters on Friday night brought Tigers big, burly and bearded right-hander Michael Fulmer to mind.
Substitute Lynn’s cutter for Fulmer’s slider and you can maybe get a vision for the type of pitcher Fulmer could be when he gets back from Tommy John surgery. Lynn had the surgery in 2015 and he’s got 14 wins and is still throwing fastballs by hitters at age 32.
“I was watching him,” said Fulmer, who has been with the club here in Arlington.
