Sam Cozart is one of the top college pitching prospects in the country, and the Mississippi State commit certainly is not humble about it.
Cozart will not graduate from Wesleyan Christian Academy High School in High Point, N.C., until 2025, but he is already turning heads. A lot of that has to do with his 6-foot-7, 240-pound frame and devastating pitches. This week, however, Cozart made headlines for a savage move he pulled on the mound.
In his first game of the spring, Cozart struck out the first three batters he faced on nine pitches. He waved goodbye to the third batter before fanning him. Yes, literally.

That has to be one of the most disrespectful moves we have ever seen on the baseball diamond. A lot of people loved it, while others were disgusted by it. Whatever the case, Cozart clearly is not lacking in the confidence department.
