Casey may not light up a radar gun like our first two arms on this list, but the polished southpaw out of Simi Valley High School displayed likely the best pithability of any arm to take the mound (23 total pitchers). It's a legitimate 3 pitch mix which he fronts with a FB that works consistently at 81-83 MPH and bumped 84 in the outing which generates run/sink to the arm side. Then he comes at hitters with a wicked CHG that he throws with FB arm speed and plenty of decepting raking of whiffs from RH hitters and showed confidence to throw it left on left. His third offering is a short tight breaking SLD almost like a cutter with it's shape but comes in the low 70's that he used to run in on the hands of RH hitters opening up the outer half for his FB/CHG combo. Keep your eyes on Casey going forward because as the velocity trends up to go with his polished operation on the mound he is going to be a great grab for a college program.
