Yes, by weight, not by volume. Drain and pat the ball dry, dice it and use the same number of grams: it will release more water as it bakes.

This is low-moisture mozzarella, the kind sold in bags for pizza. Fresh mozzarella balls are full of water and cannot be measured by the cup: cut them up and weigh them.
