CASEY MIZE NEWS

Looks good in spring debut Mize pitched two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three.

Impact Mize wasn't overly efficient with his pitches, as he needed 39 of them in his two frames, but he still looked pretty good. The strikeouts are a promising sign, as Mize was able to muster only a 7.1 K/9 in 2021. If the 24-year-old can consistently miss more bats in 2022, he should be able to take a step forward from a fantasy perspective.

Active Tigers add to rotation, sign RHP Michael Pineda

Scheduled to pitch Saturday Mize is slated to make his spring training debut Saturday against the Pirates, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Offseason addition Eduardo Rodriguez will kick off the team's spring schedule Friday, followed by Mize on Saturday. The latter took a step forward in 2021, posting a 3.71 ERA after registering a 6.99 ERA as a rookie in the condensed 2020 season. Mize will turn 25 this year and should just be hitting his stride as a top-of-the-rotation pitcher, though he'll likely need to miss more bats to really take off. He struck out only 118 batters across 150.1 innings last year.

Detroit Tigers' Casey Mize wants to 'lead our team in innings' Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize talks Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2021, after his team's 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 • FREEP.COM

Rocky first inning in loss Mize (7-9) took the loss Wednesday against Minnesota, giving up three runs on five hits with four strikeouts over four innings.

Impact Things got off to a rough start for Mize, who gave up singles to Luis Arraez and Byron Buxton, a three-run homer to Jorge Polanco, and another single to Josh Donaldson before registering an out. Mize allowed just one hit over the rest of his outing but was lifted after completing four frames. The 24-year-old right-hander finished his first MLB season with a 3.71 ERA and 118:41 K:BB across 150.1 innings.

Solid in brief outing Mize didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Royals, allowing one run on two hits over three innings. He struck out three.

Impact Detroit is limiting the innings of the younger members of its rotation down the stretch, and as a result Mize hasn't worked more than three innings in any of his four September starts. The 24-year-old has a 4.09 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB through 11 innings on the month, and he should get one more outing in 2021 next week in Minnesota.
