Once a hyped No. 1 pick, Casey Mize enters spring on the roster bubble. To reclaim his place, he will lean on an old calling card.

Casey Mize is using three different variations of his slider and he threw his splitter so hard on Sunday that Statcast’s pitch tracker nearly gave up trying to classify it. That was music to Mize’s ears.

Mize struck out three in two scoreless innings, and Dingler added a home run in the Tigers' 4-0 victory over the Yankees.
