Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize felt the anticipation for his MLB debut Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox — from the franchise that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2018, his family, the fans and, of course, his personal emotions.
As his second start dawns, the Tigers' top pitching prospect shifts his focus to finding normalcy for the remainder of the shortened season. He will take the ball at 7:10 p.m. Monday against the Chicago Cubs for his Comerica Park debut.
"We're going to let him have it, and that'll be fun," Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said Sunday.
