However, Fulmer isn't going to bask in the glory of the award for too long — he has work to do.

According to Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press, that work doesn't just include strengthening his skills on the mound, but also returning to his job as a plumber in the offseason.

Fulmer took up plumbing in 2015 when he began helping a good friend's uncle at his plumbing business Cyrus Wright Plumbing in Yukon, Oklahoma. When Larry Wright, Fulmer's boss, called Fulmer for help on a job, Fulmer accepted. He's continued the work since, telling Fenech, "I’m still doing it, so it’s fun."

According to Fenech, Fulmer helps with some of the more physical work, like digging deep ditches and working jackhammers. Wright said it took Fulmer a little while to learn the tools and terminology, but has others learned the ins and outs of the job quickly.
