Allows one run over four frames Mize gave up one run on five hits and two walks over four innings during Tuesday's extra-inning win over the Twins. He had four strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

Impact The 23-year-old wasn't particularly efficient as he needed 82 pitches to record 12 outs, but he limited the damage by surrendering only one extra-base hit. Mize should continue building up his pitching count and lines up to pitch at Houston on Monday.

Tigers' Casey Mize on first Opening Day: 'Like a new debut for me' Casey Mize pitched in seven games with the Tigers last year (0-3, 6.99 ERA) but this will be his first Opening Day.

MARCH 31, 2021 • DETROITNEWS.COM

Fans six in last spring start Mize allowed two earned runs on five hits and a walk across 4.2 innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. He struck out six.

Impact It was a mostly positive final spring start for Mize, who wraps up the exhibition slate with a 7.23 ERA across 18.2 innings. Despite the struggles, the 23-year-old was able to earn an Opening Day rotation spot, and he has the talent and pedigree to take a step forward in his second MLB season. Mize is lined up to face the Twins on April 6 in his first start of the regular season.

Hinch says Mize will be in rotation for Tigers

Right-hander Casey Mize will be part of the Tigers' starting rotation and Michael Fulmer will pitch out of the bullpen

MARCH 26, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Casey Mize makes Tigers' rotation; Derek Holland, Michael Fulmer in the bullpen Mize struck out nine Thursday against the Blue Jays, and on Friday was told by manager AJ Hinch he was heading north with the ballclub.

Wins rotation spot Mize has officially won a spot in the Tigers' rotation, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mize didn't look particularly impressive in his seven-start debut last season, struggling to a 6.99 ERA while striking out a modest 19.5 percent of opposing batters and walking 9.8 percent. That shouldn't put too big of a dent in the excitement surrounding the 2018 first overall pick, though it does give reason to think he may not live up to his considerable potential right away. Michael Fulmer will open the season in the bullpen to clear a rotation spot for Mize.

Looks better Thursday Mize allowed two runs across four innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. He gave up five hits while striking out nine.

Impact Mize had allowed 11 earned runs over his previous two spring outings, so this was a welcome change of pace, and the nine strikeouts point to the righty's considerable upside. The 23-year-old still has a high 8.36 ERA in Grapefruit League play, but he's in the mix for an Opening Day rotation spot and definitely has the talent to turn some heads this season, though he may struggle with consistency in only his second taste of the majors.

Another rough outing Friday Mize allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk across 3.2 innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. He struck out five.

Impact The five strikeouts are about the only silver lining here, as Mize otherwise had another poor performance after allowing six runs in his previous start, and his spring ERA is up to 9.90. The 23-year-old should still have a bright future in the majors, but he might benefit from starting the season at Triple-A and building up some confidence first.
