    A 14th-round pick of the Mariners out of El Camino (Calif.) JC last year, Casanova transferred to Cal State Northridge and tied for the Big West Conference batting title with a .345 average as the Matadors' starting catcher. Casanova rarely jumps out to observers, but they often look up and see Casanova had the best game of anyone on the field. A 6-foot, 205-pound lefthanded hitter, Casanova takes good swings that produce a lot of contact and average power. His bat path is sound, but his bat speed is below-average, which concerns evaluators when he faces better velocity. Defensively, Casanova is a decent athlete who is a potential average receiver with fringe-average arm strength. Scouts have reservations because Casanova lacks a plus tool and he put up his big numbers against second-tier competition, but he still projects to go in the top 10 rounds as an athletic, lefthanded-hitting catcher with a loud track record.
