2018 No. 1 Pick Casey Mize Throws No-Hitter For Tigers Double-A Affiliate

Tigers top prospect Casey Mize threw a no-hitter in his first start with Double-A Erie on Monday night, fanning seven batters in a 1–0 SeaWolves victory.

Mize was selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft. The 21-year-old righthander plunked his first batter of the game on Monday, then retired 19 in a row. He allowed just one other base runner on the evening, walking Altoona Curve outfielder Bligh Madris.

Monday's no-hitter marks Erie's second no-hitter in the last week. Fellow 2017 first-rounder Alex Faedo combined for a no-hitter with reliever Drew Carlton on April 24, firing seven hitless innings in a 4-0 win.
