In order to have a shot in the 2018 major league draft, he graduated a year early. In 2016 and 2017, he also participated in the Under Armour All-American Baseball Game, which elevated him to the position’s top prospect list.
He was selected in the first round by the Boston Red Sox in 2018. Casas was given a minor league assignment to the Gulf Coast League Red Sox. He sustained a ligament damage under his right thumb, ending his 2018 campaign. Casas joined Class A South Atlantic League at the start of 2019. He was later selected for their All-Star game. Baseball America awarded him the Offensive Player of the Year and Minor League Player of the Year for the Red Sox in 2019.
