South Carolina commit. We got a chance to see Kasuya at Preseason All-State in January, and was one of the top infielders at the event. This was the first look at him this spring, and he put together an impressive 2 game performance against Cherokee Bluff. He took some of the best at bats of the game, and reminded me how good of an eye and how good his approach is at the plate. He fouled off 6 pitches against an upper 80’s arm, and won it with a single to right. He does not chase pitches out of the zone, and probably had his best swing of the day that resulted in a line out at the left wall.

South Carolina Commit. 5-foot-11, 167 pounds. This is a very athletic player who continues to trend up with us since last fall. Judging Kasuya’s game based on tools only would be a grave mistake. Not only does he have elite makeup and baseball IQ, but instincts of the same quality. He showed that on multiple diving plays and finished each one with strong accurate throws from all angles. While he’s only an average-ish runner now, Jin is a long ways away from his eventual physical ceiling and twitch. Everything plays up defensively due to his anticipation, spot on reads, quick exchange, awareness, and strong accurate arm. Offensively, he has some of the best pitch recognition in the class, and can barrel any pitch in any spot to all fields. As he continues to get stronger and faster, we feel the tools will steadily rise.
