| Long arm action, especially on back end turing take away; brings arm down immediately. Too much effort in his delivery for a big guy. Thick, long legs support a heavy frame. Built to log innings. |

Fastball command was erratic; threw strikes but not quality ones. Straight, no movement. |

Fulmer's one plus pitch; featured plus break; hard, downward action. Tough pitch to elevate when he keeps it down. Should generate a lot of ground balls. |

Showed an ability to spin the ball, but break and velocity was inconsistent. Some were hard with slight break, almost resembling cutters. Others were slower and loopy, like a slurve. Couldn't seem to settle on one velocity, plane or pitch type. Could be an average pitch if he settles on one and refines it. |

Little to no movement on pitch, very hittable. Only deception was in change in velocity. |

Fulmer may look like he's built to log innings, but his stuff suggests middle-relief. He has enough velocity that his fastball can be an average pitch with improved command, but his only other effective offering is the curveball. At this point, he's a two-pitch pitcher who only commands one of them well, which suggests bullpen role.
