BIOGRAPHY

Michael Fulmer was born March 15, 1993, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is a pitcher in the MLB.

On June 12, Fulmer pitched six scoreless innings, while allowing only two hits against the New York Yankees. Fulmer became just the second pitcher in Major League history to pitch four consecutive scoreless outings of six innings or more while allowing three or fewer hits, joining Jake Arrieta. On June 17, Fulmer's scoreless streak ended at 33 1⁄3 innings, surpassing the previous Tiger rookie record of 28 2⁄3 scoreless innings set by John Hiller in 1967. This was also the longest consecutive scoreless innings streak by a rookie pitcher in baseball since Orel Hershiser threw 32 scoreless innings in 1984, but fell short of the all-time rookie record of 35 consecutive scoreless innings set by Fernando Valenzuela in 1981. On July 1, Fulmer pitched seven scoreless innings against the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing only two hits and striking out ten. Fulmer became the first Tigers pitcher since at least 1913 to allow one or zero runs in eight consecutive starts.

On August 2, 2022, Fulmer was traded to the Minnesota Twins for pitcher Sawyer Gipson–Long.
