Royals' Frank Mozzicato: Rises to High-A
Rotowire
Mozzicato was promoted from Single-A Columbia to High-A Quad Cities on Sunday.
Despite missing a month on the injured list, Mozzicato showed growth in his second year at Single-A, posting a 3.04 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 85:34 K:BB over 56.1 innings.

While he still has youth and a good prospect pedigree on his side, Mozzicato will need to work on trimming back his walk rate as he works up the Royals' system.
