Kadlecik received a strong workload during his freshman season with the Radford Highlanders, making 15 appearances and striking out 11 batters across 15 innings. The left-handed reliever will spend his first summer ball experience in Massachusetts after pitching scoreless innings against NC State and Campbell in his last two outings of the spring. 

He and infielder Ty Dooley are the first-ever Radford players to join the Navigators. Before starting his college career this spring, the native of McKees Rock, Pa., went 6-3 with a 1.91 ERA and 100 strikeouts in 62.1 innings at Montour High School.
