Casey Mize looks dialed in as he makes his final Grapefruit League start on Sunday

Hopes for a playoff push from the 2022 Detroit Tigers are going to require significant improvement from the pitching staff to sustain them. Part of that improvement should come from the addition of Eduardo Rodriguez to the starting rotation. But if the Tigers are really going to be a threat this season, improvement from their core of young pitching talent is going to be a crucial ingredient. While Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning, and others are capable of taking the next step, much of that expectation has to fall on Casey Mize. As Mize goes into his final spring training start on Sunday, let’s take a look at the odds for a big season for him.
