Catcher Mark Kolozsvary has elected minor league free agency after being waived by the Orioles, according to an announcement from Baltimore. The O’s had designated him for assignment on Wednesday.
Kolozsvary had a quick turnaround this week. Baltimore selected him onto the big league roster on Tuesday. He played once as a defensive substitute before being cut loose. Kolozsvary had otherwise spent the year with the O’s top affiliate in Norfolk. He hit .162/.250/.265 in 20 games.
A University of Florida product, Kolozsvary has appeared in 11 MLB games between the Reds and Orioles. He’s played six seasons in the minors, including parts of three years in Triple-A. He owns a .171/.283/.290 line in 81 career contests at the top minor league level. He’ll look for minor league opportunities elsewhere.
Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Thanks for your service, sir.
We need Hungarians in the league! Someone pick him up so I can buy the jersey
With that slash line, he is definitely strictly from Hungary.
If he doesn’t get some new hitting mechanics, he will just be Hungry!
Gotta keep on chasing the dream or he may never find it
Depletes the minor league catching depth a bit. Thought he may choose to stick around.!
