2021 South Side Sox Top Prospect 100: Corey Zangari
Dan Victor/South Side Sox Corey Zangari in 2019 with Venus Victor, who is a great teammate but just missed our cut as a Top 100 prospect.First Baseman

SSS rank among all first baseman in the system: 5
2019 SSS Top Prospect Rank: 48

When playing for Carl Albert H.S. in Midwest City, Okla., Zangari could do it all. As a pitcher, he lit up the radar gun at 95 mph, though he had difficulty throwing strikes due to not finding a consistent release point; he also caught, though it was apparent with his size that he’d be better suited as a first baseman. He hit 19 homers during his senior season, including two in the state’s 5A semifinal game.
