Detroit Tigers fans know Casey Mize as the organization’s top prospect and a hopeful future big-league ace. In order to help preserve those future hopes, the Tigers organization has made the decision to shut Mize down for the rest of the season, according to a report from the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday evening.
The Detroit Tigers selected Casey Mize out of Auburn University with the number one overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. The righty began this season with Single-A Lakeland but was quickly moved up to Double-A Erie after just six starts with the Flying Tigers and an ERA of just 0.
