Casey Mize Throws Two Scoreless Innings In Spring Debut
4 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher Casey Mize made his first spring start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. He pitched two innings and allowed no hits, three walks and no runs while striking out three. The walks were certainly a bit of a letdown and a surprise. Mize averaged just 1.9 BB/9 over 21 starts at Double-A and High-A in 2019. In his first big league stint last year, he averaged 4.1 BB/9 over 28.1 innings. Regardless, it was encouraging that Mize didn't surrender a single hit. Mize is one of the team's top prospects and he will see his first full season in the majors in 2021.
