[edit] Biographical Information
Kevin Koslofski played four seasons in the majors. He started in the minors in 1984 after being drafted in the 20th round out of high school in that year's amateur draft. Just two spots prior, another high schooler was drafted named Jack McDowell. Koslofski signed, while McDowell elected to go to college and would three years later be a first round pick.
Koslofski hit .324 with Memphis in 1991 and .311 with Omaha in 1992.
He came to the majors in 1992 after playing nine seasons of minor league baseball without a call-up. At the time, Kevin was the fifth outfielder on the Kansas City Royals. In his first game, Kevin batted lead-off and managed to go 3 for 5. It was prior to expansion and his .248 batting average was not far from the team average of .256. He was fourteen years younger than teammate George Brett. The first home run of his career came against Nolan Ryan.
Koslofski left baseball in 1997
