The Tigers were represented among the 61 big-league scouts who made their way to Gainesville, Fla., on Thursday night for a marquee pitching matchup that might’ve had steep ramifications for the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft.
All 30 teams were present at McKethan Stadium for the battle of aces between Auburn’s Casey Mize and top-ranked Florida’s Brady Singer.
Mize, the right-hander believed to be the favorite to be drafted No. 1 overall by the Tigers in June’s draft, was exceptional in the SEC duel, striking out 10 in seven innings. He allowed three runs on four hits.
