The most likely "next man up" for Blue Jays was just assigned to minor league camp

"Kasevich hit .306/.375/.500 with a strikeout rate of 5%. He hit one home run, drove in five RBIs, and stole a pair of bases while also playing excellent defense at multiple infield positions."

"The former second round pick (2022 MLB draft) by the Blue Jays has always had solid hit tools and looked like he was already on a steady path to the majors until he got into injury trouble the last year."

"But what has set Kasevich apart from his peers is his approach at the plate, which already looks like it's major league ready."

Josh Kasevich performed exceptionally well during spring training, showcasing his readiness for the major leagues. He played 20 games, hitting .306 with a 5% strikeout rate. Kasevich's performance included one home run, five RBIs, and two stolen bases, along with strong defensive skills. He was assigned to minor league camp alongside other prospects, but his hitting approach sets him apart. After overcoming injury setbacks, Kasevich aims to secure a spot on the Blue Jays roster, especially if established players struggle early in the season.
