Buzz on Casey: By Dan Cevette New York Scouting Director
Casey stands 6-foot-1 175 pounds, and is dominating the mound in CNY. In 34 innings pitched he's recorded 60 strikeouts while only walking eight. He's signed to a very strong northern program in Canisius and could help them as soon as he walks on campus. Either way he will learn a ton from a great staff and continue to develop. His fastball sits low to mid 80's touching 86, and with a good program under his belt I see a lot more in the tank. Great kid
