The Detroit Tigers’ pitching staff has shown remarkable growth this season, largely due to the expertise of pitching coach Chris Fetter. Known for his ability to develop young talent, Fetter has transformed the Tigers’ pitching into one of the best in the league, with their ERA ranking among the top five in Major League Baseball.
A standout example is Keider Montero, who recently pitched his first complete game shutout. Drafted by the Tigers in 2016, Montero has become an integral part of the pitching rotation under Fetter’s mentorship. Another key player is Tarik Skubal, who has recorded over 200 strikeouts and earned 16 wins in the 2024 season, solidifying his status as one of the league’s top left-handed pitchers.
Fetter’s impact extends to the bullpen, where relievers have consistently kept the Tigers competitive in many close games. His coaching has helped the team surpass expectations, maintaining a strong performance throughout the season. Under Fetter and manager AJ Hinch, the Tigers have won 74 games so far, and with 17 games left in the season, they continue to aim for more success.
