Mize pitched two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out three.
Mize wasn't overly efficient with his pitches, as he needed 39 of them in his two frames, but he still looked pretty good. The strikeouts are a promising sign, as Mize was able to muster only a 7.1 K/9 in 2021. If the 24-year-old can consistently miss more bats in 2022, he should be able to take a step forward from a fantasy perspective.
