On Kolarek: Strong left-handed pitcher who will be counted on out of the bullpen, but could also start ... very good fastball and changeup ... developing breaking ball could turn him into a dominant reliever ... should see time as both a middle reliever and lefty set-up man.

At Catonsville: Three-year pitcher and outfielder for the Comets ... hit .397 as a senior and went 8-2 with a 1.05 ERA on the mound ... made First-Team All-Metro as an outfielder in 2006 and as a pitcher in 2007 ... preseason all-state as a senior ...
