Playing career

Fetters is a graduate of ʻIolani School,^[1] where he played high school baseball in the early 1980s, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Fetters played baseball at Pepperdine University and was drafted in the first round of the 1986 Major League Draft by the California Angels.^[2] Fetters is known for his head movement while on the mound. Prior to a pitch, he took a deep breath and moved his head quickly 90 degrees to the left. He explained that being stressed during pitching was the reason for his head movement. In 2002, teammate Mark Grace comically imitated the Fetters move when invited to pitch one Diamondbacks inning. During one game in the 2004 season, Houston Astro Craig Biggio imitated Fetters' head movement and scowl while batting against him, drawing laughter from the Houston crowd.

Coaching career

As of 2019^[update], Fetters works as the Arizona Diamondbacks bullpen coach, having spent the four previous years as a quality control coach. On October 3, 2024, Fetters was fired by the Diamondbacks.^[3]
