Spencer Turnbull led major league pitchers in one category last season.
Losses.
He took 17 of them. Also, he paced the American League with 16 hit batsmen and allowed 59 walks. His 4.61 ERA and 1.436 WHIP further contributed to his crippling rookie performance.
As a second-round college draftee in 2014, Turnbull took five years to crack the Detroit Tigers' starting rotation. He pitched fearlessly before last season's All-Star break but had a miserable second half to end 2019.
On Friday, Turnbull finished his 11th and final start in the shortened 2020 season.
