"Spending his collegiate years with the Oregon Ducks, the Toronto Blue Jays selected Kasevich with the 60th overall pick in the 2022 draft. The light-hitting shortstop made his professional debut shortly after, slashing .262/.344/.336 with no home runs in 122 plate appearances with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays. All of Kasevich's 2023 season was spent with the High-A Vancouver Canadians, where he slashed .284/.363/.365 with four home runs in 383 plate appearances, with a 9.9 BB% and 10.7 K%."
"He finished the 2024 season slashing .325/.382/.433 with three home runs in 173 plate appearances for the Bisons. As a whole, he had a 107 wRC+ and nearly hit .300. Unfortunately, Kasevich's 2025 season spiraled out of control quickly. He injured his back in Spring Training, then injured his wrist during a rehab assignment. When healthy, he slashed just .173/.272/.184 with no home runs in 114 plate appearances with the Bisons."
