2023 National Underclass Showcase-Main Event
Taylor Casson is a 2026 3B/RHP/1B with a 6-4 188 lb. frame from Atlanta, GA who attends Landmark Christian. Features a taller, long and lanky build with plenty of projection. Ran a 7.15 60-yd dash. In the OF, showed athletic actions. Used longer strides in his approach that got to the baseball quick and that worked through the baseball well creating momentum into his throws. Fielded each ball clean and out front with good posture. Used a full/loose arm action that got off throws with easy carry to the bag with accuracy showing advanced arm strength. In the INF, he has avg. footwork/quickness showing more corner INF actions. Waits back a bit on most GBs but glovework and hands are solid and play in rhythm. Arm certainly played there as well showing similar carry and accuracy as from the OF. At the plate, he sits in an even base with lower set hands. Uses a smaller leg lift trigger he initiates early and lands on time. He swings it loose and with intent showing plenty of bat speed. He rotates fast and works the barrel on a slight uphill path allowing for some easy lift. On the mound, he showed a ton of upside. Uses a more drop/drive type delivery that he moves with good tempo and quickness throughout. Lands slightly open at finish. His arm works with a clean/continuous circle out the glove and gets up to a higher 3/4 slot. There's noticeable above avg. armspeed there. He ran his fastball up to 86, living 83-85 that had some riding action to it and produced several late in-zone whiffs. He mixed a quality low 70s (2400+) slider that had a good combo of depth and lateral break that produced some chase. Flashed a developing straight CH as well. High level two-way prospect here that should continue to get better.
