Official Kitchener Panthers News Release

The Kitchener Panthers have signed left-hander Kade Kozak (West Kelowna, B.C.) and right-hander Andrew MacNeil (Georgetown, Ont.).

Kozak will be joining the Panthers after playing his first IBL season with the Hamilton Cardinals last year. He has also pitched for Lee University as well as Davis & Elkins College.

Kozak gives the Panthers another lefty option out of the bullpen and his four-pitch mix will look to keep opposing lineups off-balance.

MacNeil is currently in his sophomore season at Cloud County CC in Kansas and previously pitched for the Ontario Blue Jays

He has a unique arm angle that will add a different look to the Panthers’ bullpen. He is also the younger brother of one of the newest Panthers, right-hander Owen MacNeil.
