Signing Mozzicato under slot value allows the Royals to spread their bonus pool around to their other draftees, including LSU commits and local prep players Ben Kudrna and Carter Jensen.\n\nSelecting Mozzicato at No. 7 overall wasnât all about the money for the Royals, though. The 18-year-old possessed one of the best curveballs in the Draft, and he has legitimate upside that could make him a frontline starter one day. His velocity shot up significantly over the offseason, now sitting at 93 mph, giving scouts reason to believe thereâs more in there as he develops.","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4":{"contentDate":"2021-07-18T02:10:34.045Z","description":"Royals' broadcast discusses the team officially signing first-round Draft pick Frank Mozzicato","duration":"00:00:14","slug":"royals-sign-frank-mozzicato","source":null,"tags":[{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.0","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.1","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.2","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.3","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.4","typename":"Tag"},{"type":"id","generated":true,"id":"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.5","typename":"Tag"}],"templateUrl":"https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/private/{formatInstructions}/mlb/muyhnhfonztoi5pioeiq","title":"Royals sign Frank Mozzicato","type":"video","url":"/video/royals-sign-frank-mozzicato","__typename":"Video"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.0":{"slug":"gamepk-633248","title":"2021/07/17 bal@kc","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.1":{"slug":"teamid-118","title":"Kansas City Royals","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.2":{"slug":"in-game-highlight","title":"in-game highlight","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.3":{"slug":"highlight","title":"highlight","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.4":{"slug":"eclat-feed","title":"Eclat feed","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.4.tags.5":{"slug":"international-feed","title":"International Partner feed","__typename":"Tag"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.5":{"content":"âYou get drawn to the ability,â scouting director Lonnie Goldberg said on Saturday, sitting next to Mozzicato as the Royals introduced him. âHeâs got extreme talent, ability to spin a breaking ball, picture perfect delivery, throws a ton of strikes. Those are the first things that draw you. Heâs got a ton of ceiling -- heâs got a lot of projection left to him. ... Heâs going to do special things. Really, really big things here.\n\nâAs you go through the scouting trail, his name keeps coming up and your scouts keep talking about him. And then you get to know the person, who he is, what his aspirations are, where heâs going to go, you try to picture that three to five to 10 years down the line and the ceiling he has as a player and a person, what he can do impact-wise in our city. He made it a really, really easy selection for us. Weâre extremely excited heâs here.â\n\nMozzicato couldnât get the smile off his face as he met with reporters, with his family and a few high school friends watching. Just a few months ago, he was committed to the University of Connecticut and eyeing a state championship with his high school team. As scouts continued to flock to his games -- the number grew by the day -- he focused on leading his team to the Class M state championship, throwing four straight no-hitters along the way and recording 17 strikeouts in the title game.","type":"markdown","__typename":"Markdown"},"$ROOT_QUERY.getForgeContentBySlug({\"locale\":\"en-us\",\"slug\":\"frank-mozzicato-signed-by-royals\",\"type\":\"story\"}).parts.6.data":{"html":"
