Detroit Tigers reliever Buck Farmer recently met with top pitching prospect Casey Mize after a bullpen session, not to teach but to learn.
The 29-year-old Farmer soaked up all the advice he could from his 23-year-old teammate while dishing out a few tips of his own.
Mize hasn't pitched in the big leagues yet, but that won't stop Farmer from continuing to inquire about his offseason workout plan, mechanics and approach to certain batters.
"Casey Mize, he's far advance for where he's at in his career," Farmer said Wednesday. "He's a big one that I've sat and talked to, you know, time and time again, about just learning what he does and what I can maybe help him do.
