11/16/2008 - College PREP - Shreveport, LA Casey is a LHP with a tall, athletic looking frame that does projection as it continues to physically mature. He utilizes his tall frame in working on a strong downhill plane, creating solid angles. Delivery is fluid, good pace with direction to the plate. Arm strength is near above average and would benefit by getting on a strict long toss program to aid in building more arm strength and rise in velocities. Fastball shows solid arm side run and is heavy. Breaking ball is solid average displaying a 2/8 shape with big break. Changeup is below average and needs to develop a better feel for pitch. Command is solid as he is around the plate with all his pitches. At the plate, Tate has average ability with slightly average power. He has quick hands through a level path. He has some strength in his swing displaying gap power. Hitting grades will improve quickly with some instruction and adjustments at the plate. Casey has potential on the mound and if off speed pitches come around, stock will rise in a hurry.
