Scout report
J. Cascante is a 32-year-old central defender at Austin, rated 14 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 469th of 520 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.63 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cascante.
Judged on this season alone, Cascante graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 101st of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 2 clean sheets and 2.634 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 7). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 92nd of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 32 Cascante is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cascante missed 4 games through injury (hamstring, international duty) out of roughly 36 this season. The 14 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Austin finished 6th of 15 · a mid-table side
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 25.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 14, Cascante carries the 92nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 105 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
