A fastball with hop has a flat approach angle and visually jumps through the zone. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher swing and miss average. Hop+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Sink+
A fastball with sink has low backspin and drops through the strike zone. When thrown down in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher ground ball percentage and lower launch angle. Sink+ of 100 is MLB average.
Fastball
Rise+
A fastball with rise has a high percentage of backspin. When thrown up in the zone, it is more likely to generate a higher fly ball percentage. Rise+ of 100 is MLB average
Curveball
Hammer+
A hammer breaking ball drops vertically with velocity through the zone, or 12-to-6 movement. Hammer+ of 100 is MLB average.
Curveball
Sweep+
A sweeping breaking ball moves horizontally with velocity through the zone. Sweep+ of 100 is MLB average.

RSi
The reactive strength index measurement of an athlete's explosiveness by comparing their jump height to the ground contact time in between their jumps. On a scale of 0-5.
Vertical Jump
A measure of any athlete's body strength and reach calculated from the flight time divided by the contact time.
The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
South Carolina commit. We got a chance to see Kasuya at Preseason All-State in January, and was one of the top infielders at the event. This was the first look at him this spring, and he put together an impressive 2 game performance against Cherokee Bluff. He took some of the best at bats of the game, and reminded me how good of an eye and how good his approach is at the plate. He fouled off 6 pitches against an upper 80’s arm, and won it with a single to right. He does not chase pitches out of the zone, and probably had his best swing of the day that resulted in a line out at the left wall.

Jin Kasuya, Seckinger (GA), 2025 South Carolina Positional Profile: SS/2B Body: 5-11, 172-pounds. Athletic and leaner build, proportional body. Hit: RHH. Slightly open stance, hands start over the plate. Compact stroke, simple. Line drive approach. Works to both gaps. 61.4 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 90 max exit velocity, averaged 79.8 mph. 323' max distance. Arm: RH. INF-85 mph. Shorter and quick arm. Defense: Moves with ease, mobile. Smooth and fluid actions. ATH: 1.82 and 4.08 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 27.80 max vertical.

South Carolina Commit. 5-foot-11, 167 pounds. This is a very athletic player who continues to trend up with us since last fall. Judging Kasuya’s game based on tools only would be a grave mistake. Not only does he have elite makeup and baseball IQ, but instincts of the same quality. He showed that on multiple diving plays and finished each one with strong accurate throws from all angles. While he’s only an average-ish runner now, Jin is a long ways away from his eventual physical ceiling and twitch. Everything plays up defensively due to his anticipation, spot on reads, quick exchange, awareness, and strong accurate arm. Offensively, he has some of the best pitch recognition in the class, and can barrel any pitch in any spot to all fields. As he continues to get stronger and faster, we feel the tools will steadily rise.
