Blue Jays select SS Josh Kasevich 60th overall
selected shortstop Josh Kasevich from the University of Oregon in the second round. At Oregon he hit .303/.374/.424 against some of the top college competition in the PAC-12.
That propensity for low contact doesn’t allow for much power as he doesn’t elevate the ball much, and while some think he might grow/fill out into a little more, it would probably take a more fundamental swing change. In addition to the collegiate record, last summer in the wood bat Northwoods League, he hit an impressive .374/.403/.450 while striking out just 7 times in 186 PA . The Jays have been known to draft NWL performers in recent years, so Kasevich fits their mould.
