July 24, 2007 - The Cedar Rapids Kernels and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim announce that catcher Jon Hodach has voluntarily retired from the Angels organization. The announcement was confirmed by Tony Reagins, Director of Player Development, with the Angels.
Hodach, 23, played in 24 games for the Kernels and posted a .164 batting average (10-61) with six doubles and an RBI. He was placed on the disabled list on June 26, after a violent collision at home plate left him with a mild concussion and sprained ankle.
