Official Kitchener Panthers News Release

KITCHENER, ONT. - The speedy AJ Karosas is coming back to Kitchener.

The Mississauga native just finished his senior season at the University of Charleston (NCAA D2), where he hit .333 in 41 games. That includes four home runs and 31 RBIs, as well as 12 stolen bases, which was sixth among Canadians competing in Division 2.

Karosas was recently with the Trois-Rivieres Aigles of the independent Frontier League but will ply his trade in the IBL.

It's his second full season with the Panthers, but he has been around the organization for a few years as he was previously called up on occasion from the Jr. Panthers.

"We're excited to add AJ back into the fold with us this season," said general manager Shanif Hirani. "He's coming off a strong senior season at University of Charleston, and I'm excited to see it translate into the IBL this summer."
