Michael Aloysius Kozicky was a major league baseball player and scout and a minor league manager.
Kozicky had a very brief major league career with the Cincinnati Reds. During the 1909 season, he was called up for two games and was used as a catcher. In the 1910 campaign, he saw action in a single game as a shortstop. In total, Kozicky had two hits in eight at bats for the major league club with a double, a run batted in and a walk.
Kozicky had a long minor league career with his best seasons coming at Reading. Playing first base for the Reading Coal Barons of the International League in 1919, he had a.335 batting average for the season. The newly renamed Reading Marines of 1920 were helped by Kozicky's stellar campaign. Now playing as a catcher, he hit.336 with 94 runs, 33 doubles, 11 triples, 22 home runs and a.575 slugging percentage.
Kozicky did some managing later in his minor league career including stints with the Virginia League Kinston Eagles and the New York–Penn League Binghamton Triplets.
Kozicky was a scout for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1961 to 1971.
