9/27/22
RHP Charlie Mussorici (Liberty, 2023) has been an arrow-up uncommitted arm throughout the fall and continued to show power stuff potential in brief stints last night. At 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, Mussorici spun the day’s highest breaking ball of the event, averaging nearly 2,400+ RPM on the pitch with a 2,424 RPM max. He pounded the zone with a mid-to-high-80s fastball as well, comfortably working to the arm-side corner of the plate in particular. Mussorici is an athletic arm with dynamic potential and remains one of the top pitching prospects in the state’s 2023 class that’s still on the market.
9/19/22
From 9/11/22: "...pumped the day’s hardest fastball, reaching back for an 89 mph high with his fastball, pitching in the mid-80s throughout his two innings of work. Mussorici averaged 2,442 RPM on his heater, peaking at 2,598 RPM, and showed a similar aptitude to spin his curveball; a low-70s offering that averaged 2,580 RPM with a 2,766 RPM peak. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Mussorici is one of the top uncommitted arms in Missouri and certainly showed power arm potential on the mound."
