UConn Baseball Recruiting and Commitment Thread

My son (AJ, a c/o 2022 baseball recruit) trains in the same facility as Ryan Daniels. Great kid, tireless worker. He (a few other D1 commits) and my son often hit together. It also happens to be the same facility the Winkel’s train. Big Wink has been a mentor to AJ.

Pretty sweet stroke there man. Leftie swings always look better than righties imo

I took a double take there thinking the gentleman soft-tossing to him was doing so without a screen. My son has had the ability to kill me since he was 12 doing BP, espeically as I am much better trapping a ball with my feet than with a glove. I finally noticed that the ball was bouncing too much for a baseball, so it most be a foam ball or a tennis ball. LOL.

LOL. They’re hitting baseballs. There’s an L-screen there it’s just hard to see. He’s flipping around it and ducks behind.

I have a friend who took one to the face off his kid. Fractured his cheek bone and needed eye surgery. Still partially blind in that eye. Scary stuff.

Lively arm with a 85 mph fastball... as a JR in high school, that is pretty impressive. Added 8mph more on his fastball in 2019 according to Perfect Game. Seems like if he can develop his off speed pitchers more, he can develop into a good pitcher. Seems like he could be a Karl Johnson type of guy

Actually, there are 6 players on that list who have committed to UConn. They do not list a school for Frank Mozzicato, but he been reported as a UConn commit as well.

As someone who grew up with Frank and played baseball with him, we are getting a winner, he’s a true competitor. I think he’s got great stuff and is gonna get better. As medic said above, he sat low 90s which can get to the mid 90s for a kid with his size and length. He had 16 Ks in the first game, has 31 strikeouts through two games

He will be drafted in the top 3 rounds and sign with whomever takes him. a 6'3" lefty that throws 91 as an 18 year old is awesome. But throw in the best curveball Ive seen as a HS kid. And fluent mechanics. I will go on record right now that he will never wear a Husky uni. Despite Penders' son playing with him.

I would have to agree with that. A lefty throwing +90 with a very good curve (#2 pitch), figure 2-3 years in the minors to develop a 3rd pitch plus some polich and he'll project to be in the Show at age 21 or so.
 
One thing to keep in mind here. MLB has been busy destroying the lower minor leagues this past year. This year there are about 40 fewer minor league teams as they have pretty much destroyed the short season A and Rookie leagues. I don't pretend to know how it will affect someone like Mozzicato, but it seems that the intent of their destruction of this level is to use college baseball as a substitute for the lower minor leagues. Prime high school talent will no doubt still be drafted and signed, but it would seem to me that a lot more players who may have gone pro after high school will instead find themselves playing college ball.
