Casey Mize threw 98 pitches while overpowering the Altoona Curve in a 10 win

The Detroit Tigers had the night off Monday, but all eyes were on the team's number one MLB draft pick Casey Mize.

Mize pitched a no hitter for the Erie Seawolves in his AA debut Monday night.

The 21-year-old right-hander threw 98 pitches while overpowering the Altoona Curve in a 1-0 win.

He hit the first batter of the game, but went on to strike out seven.

Mize was selected first overall by the Tigers last summer after a strong career at Auburn.
