Fresno State freshman John Kasten is a 6-foot-4 dual-role catcher/righty with real upside
John Kasten enters Fresno State as a freshman C/RHP with a big-frame 6-foot-4, 205-pound build and the kind of two-way athletic background coaches love: he starred at Clovis High as a pitcher, catcher, and third baseman, then arrived with a reputation for toughness and versatility. In 2026, he did not see game action for the Bulldogs, so the appeal is still projection rather than production. His fit is the upside play—valuable if you want depth, positional flexibility, and a local, baseball-savvy competitor with room to grow.
