Former Cincinnati Reds Todd Frazier, Patrick Kivlehan and Tim Federowicz joined Reds minor-league catcher Mark Kolozsvary on the roster USA Baseball announced Friday for the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo. 

Team USA third baseman Todd Frazier (25) points to his chest while he rounds the bases after hitting a solo homerun in the 7th inning against Venezuela in the Super Round of the WBSC Baseball Americas Qualifier series at Clover Park in June.

Kolozsvary catches for the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts. Frazier played for the Reds from 2011 to 2015. Kivlehan was an infielder and outfielder for Cincinnati for parts of two seasons (2016-17). And Federowicz had seven plate appearances as a Red in 2018.

Frazier, Federowicz and Kolozsvary were among former Reds on Team USA's roster for the qualifying tournament.

Frazier had four hits - including a home run - in the United States' 4-2 win last month against Venezuela to qualify for the Olympic baseball tournament.

Team USA opens the Olympic baseball tournament July 30 against Israel. The Dominican Republic, Japan, Korea and Mexico also are part of the six-team field.

Former Reds pitcher Jon Moscot is on Israel's roster.
