Cincinnati Reds catching prospect Mark Kolozsvary followed swimmer Michael Phelps in the Olympics every four years as Phelps won 23 gold medals for the United States.
Now, Kolozsvary is setting out for his first gold medal as a catcher on Team USA’s 2021 Olympic baseball team. On Friday, Kolozsvary was named to the Olympic Baseball roster.
“It's a great feeling, obviously,” Kolozsvary said. “Just getting out there to compete with those guys in the qualifier and kind of getting to know the team and knowing that I can actually do this at a high level and finally getting to here.
