Biographical Information

Clarence Caasalan has been on the Philippines national team.

Caasalan was 0 for 3 with a HBP in the 2017 Asian Championship. In the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, he helped the Philippines win Gold. He went 5-for-12 with two doubles, a homer, five runs and two RBI when they won the 2023 East Asian Baseball Cup and pitched 2 2/3 shutout innings; he had the event's lone homer. That won a spot in the 2023 Asian Championship for the Philippines.

In the 2022 Asian Games (held in '23 after delays from COVID-19), he went 3-for-8 with two walks, a triple, run and two RBI. He also pitched well in two outings. He closed out a 6-0 loss to Japan, relieving Kennedy Torres and facing the minimum - he walked Masashi Maruyama, struck out Kohei Sasagawa and got Kazuya Shimokawa to hit into a double play. He also closed out a 11-1 win over Thailand, replacing Renato Samuel Jr. and again facing the minimum as he struck out Pakorn Chaikaew, got Jake Jie Ren Chaisongkram on a grounder and whiffed Yuthai Ryoto. During the '23 Asian Championship, he eked out a .133/.263/.267 line but drove in four runs in five games (all four RBI came against Thailand); he allowed one run in two innings against Japan. He tied for 7th in the event in RBI and tied Ferdinand Liguayan Jr. and Iggy Escano for the team lead.
