2019 BYB Tigers prospect #1: RHP Casey Mize is making a great first impression

When the Bless You Boys staff convened to develop our 2019 consensus ranking of the Tigers farm system, one decision was easy; Casey Mize was going to get top billing. The first overall pick in the 2018 draft dominated his junior season at Auburn with a compelling mix of polish and power the Tigers couldn’t pass up on draft day. He is the unanimous choice across all scouting outlets as the best prospect in the Tigers’ farm system. And he has done nothing but impress in spring camp.

Mize is already universally hailed as one of the better pitching prospects in the game, with only minor difference of opinion.
