Casey Mize Sharp In Win Over Astros
4 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize earned his first win of the year in Monday's game against the Houston Astros. Mize pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out five. Mize has seen a significant velocity spike with his four-seamer, which is sitting at an average velocity of 95.5 mph, up from 93.7 mph last year. He's leaning more heavily on the pitch this year so far as well, throwing it 31% of the time compared to 25.4% last year. Mize is worth considering picking up in all fantasy formats after such an impressive outing against a tough Astros lineup. He should certainly be rostered in all deep leagues and AL-only leagues at this point. His next start will be on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics.
