What did Tigers get in Casey Mize trade? Kash Mayfield scouting report
Kash Mayfield, a first-round pick by the Padres in 2024, put up a 3.24 ERA over 114 innings over his two professional seasons.
On August 3, the Detroit Tigers exchanged former No. 1 overall selection and 2025 MLB All-Star Casey Mize with the San Diego Padres. In return, the Tigers acquired two prospects, with the most notable being former first-round pick Kash Mayfield, the organization's second-best prospect. Mayfield, a left-handed pitcher, showcased a 3.24 ERA over 114 innings in his first two professional seasons, one at Low-A Lake Elsinore (2025) and the other at High-A Fort Wayne (2026).
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 200 pounds, Mayfield's fastball reaches the mid-90s. Despite walking a significant number of batters (3.9 per nine innings), he demonstrated a strong strikeout rate of 13.1 in 19 starts during 2025. In addition to Mayfield, the Tigers sent left-handed pitcher Jackson Wolf and infielder Gage Workman to the Padres.
