The Kansas City Royals took Frank Mozzicato with the seventh overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft. For many, it was surprising but he’s done well thus far in the minor leagues. He hasn’t been elite, by any definition of the word, but he’s still just 20 years old and progressing very nicely. He started his professional career last season for Low-A Columbia and pitched to a 4.30 ERA over 19 starts. His strikeout totals were impressive, with 89 over just 69 innings. However, the walks were way too high and his command was spotty.
This year, he started his season once again in Columbia but looked much better.
