Casey then attended Texas A&M University where he was also a Freshman All American and still holds the all-time career strikeout record in a single season and career.

He also helped lead the Aggies to the 1999 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
Fossum also won the C. E. "Pat" Olsen Outstanding Pitcher Award in 1999 and was a second team All-American in 1998.
Fossum was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the 1999 June draft as the 18th pick in the first supplemental round (48th overall), and started his major league career in 2001.
During three years with Boston, Fossum moved between the bullpen and the rotation, compiling 14 victories with two saves in 75 games.
Previously, he played for the Boston Red Sox (2001–2003), Arizona Diamondbacks (2004), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2005–2007), Detroit Tigers (2008), and New York Mets (2009) of Major League Baseball, and the Hanshin Tigers (2010) of Nippon Professional Baseball.

(Coincidentally, both of Fossum's major league saves preserved wins for John Burkett (May 29, 2002 and July 21, 2003)).
After a recurrence of tendinitis in his pitching shoulder, he underwent surgery in September 2003.
Two months after the surgery, he was sent to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the trade that brought Curt Schilling to the Red Sox.
In 2004, Fossum played for the Arizona Diamondbacks and, for the first time in his career, was used exclusively as a starting pitcher.
He missed the first 5 1⁄2 weeks to recover from surgery, but finished third on the Diamondbacks staff in starts (27), innings pitched (142) and strikeouts (117).
Before the 2005 season, Fossum was traded to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for outfielder José Cruz Jr.
In 2006, Fossum was 6-6, with a 5.33 ERA in 25 starts.
