Round 17 - RHP - Johnny Magliozzi - Univ. of Florida


Magliozzi, Johnny
Florida (FL)RHPR/RSO5'08" 180lbs DOB: 07/21/91Magliozzi was drafted out of high school in 2011, but not as a rare Draft-eligible sophomore in 2012. A solid showing this season should lead to him being taken this time around. Magliozzi doesn't have any pitches that are above-average but his great feel for pitching and aggressiveness on the mound allows him to be effective. His best pitch is his fastball which will sit in the low 90s with some tailing action while his best secondary offering is his curveball. Scouts worry about the effort in his delivery but teams are likely to give the sophomore a chance to show what he can do.


3-7-13 - Johnny Magliozzi struts out to the mound every appearance as “Wild Thing” blares from the speakers. With his season so far, the tune from “Major League” doesn’t suit him. Sure the right-hander from Boston has the same bravado Ricky Vaughn terrorized hitters with. But, the sophomore pounds the strike zone and rarely finds himself behind a batter. He’s bought into the Sully System and it’s time Florida’s relievers take his lead.
