Casey Mize Throws Two More Scoreless Frames
4 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize has made two appearances so far this spring and is yet to give up a run or even a hit. He's pitched four innings and he's recorded four strikeouts. Unfortunately, he's had some command issues and has given up six walks. It's been a surprising development for Mize, who usually has solid control. In 2019, he averaged just 1.9 BB/9 over 21 starts at Double-A and High-A. Last year in the majors, he averaged 4.1 BB/9 over 28.1 innings. Mize has seen his fastball top out at 97 mph this spring, which Mize credits to his adrenaline from coming out of the bullpen. He told reporters not to expect that in the regular season. His fastball usually hovers around 94 mph.
