Bobcats fill open roster spot

The Marion Bobcats have added another hurler to their 22-man roster, filling a pitcher's spot on roster that opened when another player had to pull out due to family obligations.

Kyle Medley of Springfield will fill the roster spot initially held by right-hander Adnonios Constantatos of New York. Medley, a 6-foot, 195-pound pitcher for the Belhaven College Blazers in Jackson, Miss., will add only the second pitcher with roots in Kentucky. The other Bluegrass native is Chris Buckman, a fellow righty.

Constantatos, dubbed "A.C" by Bobcats Manager Steve Fowler, had to withdraw from the summer league due to a family illness.

Medley will wear No. 22 for the Bobcats when KIT League action begins May 30. The 19-year-old is 10-18 with a 2.29 career ERA for the Blazers.

The team's roster is again complete and can be downloaded in PDF format from the Bobcats' home page.
