Casey Mize's All-Star selection last season was both surprising and expected at the same time. The Detroit Tigers had always had high hopes for the former first overall pick, but for years, they got nothing close to what they had envisioned from the right-hander.
The performance didn't mean that he'd become the ace they thought they were getting when they picked him out of Auburn back in 2018, but if it meant that he could be a solid rotation contributor, it was something the club could live with.
However, this spring has been miserable for Mize.
