John Bollman said Casey Mize is on the verge of the classic second-year-after-surgery breakout. The former No. 1 pick now trusts his elbow, is using six pitches, and has opened 2025 with a 30.4% whiff rate and 5.7% walk rate—both career bests. Bollman argues that fantasy managers and oddsmakers bailed too quickly after Mize’s uneven 2024 return, but the underlying stuff plus a deeper Tigers bullpen point to a run of quality starts. He advised scooping Mize in season-long formats and looking to bet Detroit in his outings before pricing catches up.
