LAKELAND, Fla. — Something his pastor said last Wednesday resonated for Casey Mize. It's something he probably should have heard a few months earlier.
"There's been plenty of times when I was upset and bitter," said Mize, who, as he revealed Wednesday, is not only rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but also back surgery. "But I was in church last Wednesday and the pastor said, in times of peaks and valleys, when you are in the valley, instead of being bitter, focus on getting better.
"I did find myself at times, I mean, I was pretty bitter and I was upset. Then it kind of switched to, this is a really good time to reset and get better."
