Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer is the only Tigers player who was named to the American League All-Star team next week in Miami, and in celebration, Detroit-based clothing company Carhartt sent Fulmer a custom jacket.

Fulmer, plus fellow all-stars Chris Sale and Corey Kluber, along with Felix Hernandez from the Seattle Mariners and Jacob deGrom from the New York Yankees, make up Carhartt's "Strikeout for Vets" starting rotation.

That means that for every strikeout one of the pitchers records, Carhartt donates $100 to Helmets to Hardhats, a program that helps transition military service members back to everyday civilian life.

The jacket Carhartt created for Fulmer features his number, No. 32, as well as his name, a star and the Strikeouts for Vets logo combined with the 2017 MLB All-Star Game logo.
