On Wednesday night, Detroit Tigers No. 1 pitching prospect Casey Mize made his Major League debut and it did not take long for Chicago White Sox hitters to find out that Mize already has one of the best pitches in baseball.
That pitch is Mize's splitter, which kept numerous White Sox batters off balance.
Here is a look at which is already one of the best pitches in baseball.

Ridiculous.
Casey Mize should have to call out "Splitter!" Greinke-Style. pic.twitter.com/Z12RQIXWsd

I am in love with this Casey Mize sequence.
– Cutter at the top of the zone that gets a strike, always.
– Sinker darting inside that gets a foul ball, always.
– Righty-on-righty splitter down that gets a whiff, always.THIS ALWAYS WORKS. pic.twitter.com/I4wmxC6StE

I rest my case but if you do not believe me, just ask some of the White Sox hitters!
