Mosser is the Morning Call's 2014 Baseball Player of the Year; Selected to PA All-State Team
Gabe Mosser, Parkland’s senior pitcher, is the 2014 Morning Call Player of the Year. Mosser is the first Parkland ball player to be named player of the year since 2003 when Garrison Rausch earned that honor. Mosser was also named to the Morning Call All-Area 1st Team and to the PA All-State 1st Team by the Pennsylvania High School Baseball Coaches Association. These honors cap off an amazing year for Mosser who led the Trojans to the 2014 LVC & District XI championships.
Mosser’s 2014 performance on the mound was arguably the best ever by a high school pitcher in our area and one for the Parkland record books. Mosser collected a record of 9-2 with an incredibly low ERA of 0.69. Four of those wins were complete game shutouts. In 60.2 innings pitched during the season, Gabe only allowed 6 earned runs while recording an astounding 106 strikeouts, shattering the Parkland single season record of 74 strikeouts held by Andrew Kulp from the 2009 season. Mosser now holds Parkland’s all-time single season records for most wins (9), most shutouts (4), and most strikeouts (106).
Gabe was on the mound for all the critical games this year. He pitched complete game shutouts twice against rival Whitehall. He quieted the potent Emmaus bats with 13 strikeouts for the shutout victory in the 2014 LVC championship game, and he outpitched Stroudsburg’s highly ranked pitcher, Mike Nikorak, to win the 2014 District XI championship game. For his career at Parkland, Mosser pitched 6 shutout games, holds a 0.83 ERA, and had 145 strikeouts; all tops on Parkland’s all-time career record list. Gabe will continue his baseball career in college when he attends Shippensburg University starting this fall.
Congratulations to Gabe!
